framing and gardening

The past several weeks have seen massive leaps in progress. We have moved into framing up the deck... we have the entire front portion framed up and are now working all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and the weekends to frame up the rear portion. Although we have lost some time due to rain (unfortunately the Spring Jubilee saw rain all day on Saturday, so we were unable to raise awareness in the community that way), and due to framing mistakes that we have to take time to undo, we have really been coming along well. SAB,  Swade, and James have really been putting in a lot of labor on the garden while the other guys (as well as James) and I have been working on the deck- I have never seen so much digging and shoveling done by a group. Anyway, thanks to some help from the Eleazar's tiller, plants are planted and are being watered daily. We should be ready to start laying decking in the coming week or so, and as I type I am milling the foam for the signage block. We have several more nights of cutting and all of the formwork should be ready. 

Yay for progress!
