Cleaning, stacking and fixing

That's been the story of this week.  First, we had to clean out the spot for the wood from Colorado (as mentioned in the last post).  Here are some pics of how that went and what the wood looks like now:

We also had to do some quick re-work on our scaffolding shelves.  We discovered that the pointed feet will sink about a foot into the ground!  Naturally, this does not a set of level shelves make.  So Jeremy took everything off, lifted the scaffolding back out of the dirt and put a board under the feet to keep them above grade.  Problem solved!

Our next challenge was that our tall door into the greenhouse is about a foot too short for the RV to get in.  In order to make it possible to back the RV into the greenhouse, we will be cutting the sill under the door, digging out a trengh about 8 feet wide, 15 feet long and a foot or so deep and then re-filling it once the RV is inside.  *sigh*  We've started the prep for that and work will continue on it as we have time.  Fortunately, the RV is safe where it is and we have the time to work on it.

In other news, we're starting to purchase the tools we'll need to do the timber frame joinery.  The design for the cabin is pretty well finalized so the final plans with dimensions are in process.  It feels very slow, but we're moving forward!
