Rain, rain go away

I've been pretty bad about updating this site, but it is raining AGAIN here today, so I figured this would be the perfect day to catch up. A lot has been going on around here this past month. Greg's parents really helped out by bringing us more wood from the sawmill. A friend of ours also hooked us up with some awesome old redwood beams for our screened-in porch (thanks Will). The porch is going to be amazing and I foresee us spending most of our time out there.
Greg hung most of the knee braces this week and just finished building the frames for all 18 windows today. We are hoping to have the windows installed once it stops raining. Dan, our mason, finished building the columns for the front porch just in time for our framer to start the front porch later this week.
Chatham County Line is back on the road for a couple weeks, but once Greg is back he's planning on putting the slate on the roof. October in North Carolina is the perfect time for roofing, so good timing on our part.
Will post more pics soon...
