Framing the Shop

The "Project" is moving along nicely. The framing will hopefully be done by next weekend. Its great to watch it growing. Of course we do have quite a crew on hand to help out, and it's always a "good time" with Rods brothers around!



"Doc" surveying the days work after his day of work.
He was very pleased, by the way.


The building crew....
Rod, Sam, Dallas, Keith, Kelly, Kevin, and Stewie.
Stewie playing in the bobcat working on the dirt work around the building.
This guy's good. My daddy taught him well!!

Today one of our good friends and neighbors  brought a grill over and grilled moose burgers for the crew. Thanks Don Adams.
And the other day another friend/neighbor Jeff Anderson brought yummy fudge for a treat.

Several other friends have shown up to help with cement, and whatever along the way. We have good friends up here.
'Cowboy Sam" all geared up

The "Doc " took time away from the office to pop in and help out with some of the construction!!

How many men does it take to hold up a very tall framed wall????

The main floor of the apts are framed, as is the "meat processing" room.
The days in Alaska have been beautiful.







Kevin Chadburn (Jamie's husband) has been a great help with the building. He knows his stuff.

The "Bosses" checking out the work



Keith working his stuff!

The last wall put up today.
It is 16 ft high, 20 ft. wide. It will be a drive thru bay for the shop. Nice, eh

This was all kinds of fun to lift into place. Addi six "muscle men" and a viola!...you have a wall.

Toots thank you so much for putting pictures up of all the guys. It's so nice to see my dad having a good time with his brothers! They look like like they are keeping busy and getting a lot of work done.
