Going up!

The pole barn started taking shape today, from peeled trees on the ground, to a rough outline of the future structure.
Also going up, head lettuce seedlings!

What a great spot for a barn. You have a most beautiful place out there.

Did you prep the logs yourself? Do you peel them or leave the bark as is? What a lot of work! You do have one of the most beautiful farms.

Mr H, Thanks, I've been enjoying your farm photo's via your blog too!

Julie- Thanks, The logs are eastern white cedar from our woodlot. We cut them in early winter and skidded them to the barn site. Then in the last few days we peeled them and measured them for length with a water/level. Today we're building!

The lettuce looks delicious already, the little leaves are the tenderest.

Little leaves indeed! You'd need two trays to fill a thimble, lol.
