The Francis Cooke House frame went up last week!
Or part of it, anyway. We consider ourselves lucky to have had so many friends come out on a fair December day and help us raise a couple of bents. It’s important to set our earthfast posts before the ground freezes, and it’s a kick to see that puppy go up.
Marie Pelletier, Peter Follansbee, and Sally Rothemich took outstanding photos and La Bottine Souriante provided the music.

Fabulous and the music perfect–nice job and fun to watch–good day all around and for some reason this didn’t arrive in my inbox, had to track it down on the site–

Watching the video makes me realize again how fortunate I am to be able to work with such a great group of people!
Thanks for saying Kelley. And so true!
You guys are awesome!
When it comes to music to accompany construction activities might I recommend “Banging and Sawing” by Bob Carlin.
Excellent suggestion, Rob! Especially as a few of us subscribe to the “clawhammer” hewing style!
