A Story, Part 2

Concrete floor! yeah! (but I am jumping ahead)

So the house construction project was completed, the garage watched from the side and baby Eliza arrived. Or more accurately, baby Eliza came and the house got done....eventually. The garage was too close now, so we moved it down the hill in the spring. Imagine moving a building! I was in awe of this.

Carrie helped.

We had to move it to make room for the new barn. Doesn't everyone need a barn? Framers came down from Vermont and stayed with us for three days and put up the timber frame that David had designed. For the next few years, David and occasionally helpers worked on it, putting on siding, roof, and installing windows and doors.

What did the old garage think of all this? Things had sure changed since the day the little house and garage sat side by side.

Here's the family standing in front of the old garage.

Now there are three building and four people in the family.

More to come in the next installment.
