Sorry Dad, didn't get to the blog last night. Tyler, Melissa and Caitlyn Gingrich came up for a visit and so we spent a very lovely evening up at our little campfire after a hot dog and marshmallow roast. The stars were bright and the evening nice and warm without bugs.

Nonetheless, it was quite a momentous day. The frame for the covered porch was raised and placed using the services of Pat from Interior Crane Services. It was quite something to see that huge frame sailing through the air.

Once the frame was placed on the deck, the guys scurried around securing things and placing the beams as Pat flew them over with great accuracy. Here is Len up on top securing the central beam.

The Gingrich family arrived just after the frame was put up. We put Tyler to work in the pit of despair, digging things a bit deeper.

As I noted to begin, the evening was quite lovely and we really enjoyed our visit.
