Bonnie helps use the Pievy to rotate the log for Jack.
DCIM100GOPROGOPR1120.
We use a piece of Pressure Treated wood between the log post and concrete because concrete will eventually rot the log.
Positioning the north ridgepole post. Again…no boom trucks were harmed(or used) in the positioning of these logs.
Bonnie was always on hand to help in any way she could.
This is my new favorite photo!
It was a delicate balance of which side to pull in order to lift this center post into position.
This center post will be 1 out of 3 logs to hold our ridge pole log up. Big Red…our center post is in the upper right corner of this photo.
Bonnie is on the jeep winch and Rob is on the tractor pulling this post into place.
Success!
This is my happy face.
FYI…the 2′ square footings will hold 4×4″ posts and 4×8″ beams that will hold the 2×8″ joyce milled lumber for the floor. You can see the joyce hangers along the top of the foundation.
I am looking at a wall log that needs to be notched in order for the center post to fit correctly
Notching the wall log.
