The Big Wind

A few days ago a big Nor'eastern blew in and we had some pretty strong straight line winds.  They blew the top off the hanger building across the road and scattered sheet metal and lumber all across the farm.  Luckily there wasn't much more damage than that aside from a few smaller tree branches laying in the yard.  We also lucked out because the framers hadn't started putting up the walls yet otherwise they probably would have blown down!

The Jobsite

Formed up and pouring walls.

Footings poured.

Here is a "before" pic of the old farmhouse from the spring of our 1st year living in it.

And here is an "after" pic from after the demolition

This is what the old farmhouse looked like a few years ago.  It's the most recent picture I could find that was taken from a similar angle as the rest of the jobsite pictures.

Here is what was left after the old house was razed and cleaned up. 

Here are three panoramic pics of the jobsite taken from the top of the farm shop showing the recently dug hole for the new house's basement and garage walls.
