One Week Until Frame Raising!!! (11 Feb)

[Joel Eisner]

We are one week from the frame raising.  It will be in Chapel Hill NC starting at 8:30 AM.

We are going to assemble bents 4 and 5 today and continue to ready the job site.  Here are links to previous posts for the project:

My wife and I invited a lot of family and friends since we are going to have an old time party afterwards.  We have 68 people RSVPd so far (includes men, women and children).  We figure we have about 20 workers in the bunch.  We hope to get the bents up and the roof deck on.

A couple of blue grass/ folk groups have decided to attend and play under the frame when it is done (Near Blind James and Harmonica Bob ).  We also have a Celtic violin player to inspire folk during the raising.

There has been interest from the FF as far as Chicago.  Let me know if anyone is still coming.  There will be at least 2 other FF members in attendence.


Here is the bent assemble crew.  ;)
