After years of searching for a waterfront house site, we found a lot this fall on Mascoma Lake, very near our current house. This blog will follow the progress of our new timberframe house construction this year. Please enjoy and share our excitement. You can click on any picture for a larger view.

Retaining Wall Progress

Gary continues to marvel us with his machine made walls. All these boulders are too heavy to imagine moving. He selects the correct size boulder from a pile, and places it accurately with the help of an assistant and a laser guided height level. The pictures below show walls in various places with detail of Gary placing a boulder on a wall supporting the patio area on lakeside of house, seen from above in the previous view. To watch him quickly maneuver this large machine makes it look like a living creature. The last picture shows the hill that they have to go up after dumping the boulders below the house. The bulldozer is used to pull the empty truck up the steep incline! Pretty amazing.
