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.

Roof and framing complete!

Good progress on house framing, now with tarpaper on complete roof, it is weather tight, and they are starting to build the interior walls. Meanwhile, Gary continues to build machine made stone walls to contain the patio in back, as shown below. We have had some great weather, bought a new lawnmower, got the old weedwacker and chain saw working, and have started doing some clean up work around the little yellow house near the water, where we are storing kayak equipment, lawn chairs, etc. Found 2 trees the correct distance apart to hang up the hammock, for when the work is done! We've taken to going over to the site after work, getting take out dinner from a great local restaurant, and eating dinner at the water edge. Nice view across the dock to the lake from our lakeside dining spot. Meanwhile, lots and lots of decisions about details. We are pretty much consumed by house, but still really enjoying the process.
