The spring rendezvous was a huge success! Thanks to all the volunteers that came and helped out. We had about 20 frontiersmen show up to work on Saturday April 16th. We put up 3-4 more layers of the cabin. This required an extreme amount of muscle to lift up the huge logs high upon the top of the cabin. We then put the roof over the porch, added the long ridge pole centered along the length of the cabin, and began to put up trusses along sides of the ridge pole. What is left to complete on the cabin you ask ? Well, Chuck will be putting in the floor of the cabin as well as the door soon. We must complete the trusses along the length of the cabin and attach cedar shingle squares to the trusses. A few CLR volunteers are hunting for cedar shingle squares now (If you have access to get some donated, please contact FOTF ASAP!).

We worked for 8 hours on Saturday towards the completion of the cabin. I am so proud of the time and efforts the volunteers put in. THANK YOU! Please enjoy the pictures of the cabin and the workday. I am very excited about this summer... live the code!
