Really it only took 15 minutes to finally decide where to build the house, the orientation that is. When the Master Builder says he will begin excavation tomorrow, it has a sobering effect. The decision is made: it will face South East and be 58 feet from the water’s edge.We can clear some more scrub-trees from the water's edge and bingo!
A good thing we have Raman Nayar’s large table to seat the nine people who eat over the weekend, including Anna and Connor in for the day from Antigonish. Such a good decision to put the table on the trailer for the first trip.
We’re all in the glow of Mary-Anne’s visit to Italy: her photos cast us all in Florentine sunshine and Art. She even compares the Master Builder to Michelangelo’s David which is a bit over the top although he does have a tippy way of standing now and then.
Photos illustrate how serious we are about building: the MB sawing through a variety of logs to make 2x4s, 6x6 and 6x8 headers. The trick is a sharp saw and the good Doctor even turned her hand to sharpening his Woodmiser blades. I just admired from a safe distance.
With the wind and colder weather, no flies in evidence. This would be perfect weather for excavating... Still burning wood!
