Raise the Roof!

Construction update: Monday the trusses for high, central portion of the roof were set by crane:

Here's the last truss being set. It's the front gable end of the lodge:

One of our favorite things so far is the framing for the screened porch; we used reclaimed boards from various teardown projects that Jim has completed over the last few years. These rafters will be exposed from the inside of the porch, with metal roofing on the top.

2006 Turkey Harvest

    This year's turkey season was our best one to date! We had fabulous spring weather and our hunters enjoyed an unparalled level of success. We also had more than a few near misses, which made for VERY entertaining stories around the campfire. Our 'turkey fever' is worse than ever!
