Chapter 4: A Structure Begins to Take Shape -- Fall and Winter 2005 - 2006 -- p. 1.

We moved scores of 2 X 6 lumber from the piles on which they had been drying for several months.

On November 14 we began construction of the first of two buildings we had hoped to erect during the preceding summer. Since we had not yet run power to the site, our power tools were run from a gas generator. The four walls went up quickly: first, the west . . . .

then, the east, allowing our little tractor to enjoy at least a bit of symbolic shelter.
