"The Deck" ongoing construction project.

Here are a few shots of the deck as it is being built and going up.

A man up the Takotna River, about one hour away by boat, cut the logs for us, milled them at his homestead and then loaded them into his boat where we unloaded them at the river side to then bring them to our home for the building.

There is no lumber yard, hardware store or much of anything here to buy when it comes to building.  The store in our community has a little bit of everything but no building supplies. 

You will see Joey, our son in the picture as we are about to lift the stairway into place.  It was a tad heavy!

It is amusing to see who will stop by to see what is going on and stand back to give us their expert opinion on how we are doing.  At least it generates interst and intrigue into the Carson's.

Monday we start on the attic to replace the floor joists as the ceiling down here is literally falling down around our ears.

Hope we get it secure up above before we get hit on the head down below!
