You know what they say about the size of a man's walls

So a very interesting day to say the least.  We really were stuck without any walls to put up this morning.  When we first started this project a year ago one of the airplane types from the 108 that I had met came and dug the first hole for us.  He also milled some of our huge trees into posts for the deck when we get that far.  So Ken our carpenter, also an airplane guy asked Joe about using his old Chev flat deck with a crane to move around the walls.  Anyway to make a long story longer he has left it with me and is charging only as we use it.  Not quite the reach of the truck from the building supply but a heck of a lot cheaper and convenient.  We started moving walls and assembling as soon as it got here. Some of these walls are very tall so we will be using come-a-longs to get them up safely.

The ladder in this photo is a foot taller than I am which should give you some scale.  The wall going up to the left of this one is about 4 feet taller yet to the peak.  Should be fun. This is the kitchen wall facing west with the garage to the right.

Not too pretty but gets the job done.

It's a great community of people involved in aviation up here.  Joe who lent us his truck flies out of the 100 Mile airport as well as Ken, who owns his own Piper.  Our engineer,  Jeff owned a Piper and is interested in flying my Cessna when all the dust settles.  I have loaned the seats from my Cessna to the flying club while they wait for certified parts for theirs. Mine will be in storage till I get a new engine for it and reassemble it at the airport up here.  Probably get it here next spring.

More walls tomorrow,
