That's ok, I wanted to explain it to all, not just you. I agree, it's precarious at best, but believe it or not, the platform is firm - I know it won't last that way, but at least we can build for now. We're going north next weekend, I'll be leveling everything after that.

Here are more showing progress, first, the walls framed:

Inside, showing some of the windows (there will be windows on all four walls, properly protected from the outside):

The sheathing on - notice the addition of three new beehives! Next, the roof.....

Looks really good, Ann! And congratulations on the new 'supers'! Hope that's what they are called

...I don't have bees, but a friend does. Still have honey left over from her from last summer!

Can't wait to see more!

Looks like it will be nice. Please tell me you're going to put some sort of foundation under that thing??? :|

 

[Reinbeau]

Yes, Brian, we're going to level the 'foundation'. I've already got the blocks to do it. Everyone notices that - it's on the list. I think I'll start doing it today, it bugs me, too.

Beautiful job, Ann. The site you've chosen is so bucolic!

What more could one want than a scenic view, bees humming and contented hens clucking all in one spot?
