Progress

We have now spent five days working on the cabin and it is looking good. The floor is down and we put the first line of logs down for the walls yesterday. It is really interesting watching it go up, although we have had the fun job of peeling the bark off the logs so until yesterday we were somewhat removed from the actual building process. But Chris and Simon have been really good at explaining what they are doing and why so we know what is happening at each step.

It is really hard work though and our bodies are taking a bit of a beating, strangely it is my hands that are aching. A couple of days ago I could not even clench my fist, so that seemed like a good day to take a break! But, our minds are feeling relaxed and we are happy - sleeping well each night after a hard days work.

It sounds like progress will be quite fast the next few weeks as the walls go up, and Chris is already talking about the second cabin! He has showed us the location and it is very remote, will be hard work getting all the materials there.

But I guess I should go get started for the day now...
