June 2009: The actual construction begins
After the
long and cold winter, the lake remains covered in ice for a very long
time.
Boating and transportation is not possible until early June. After a
considerable delay, we start construction of the log house. The logs
are
peeled and the first layers are laid. George, our foreman, has
everything under control and we are making good progress. The three of
us work with simple tools, lots of muscular strength and elaborate
technique. After 2 weeks, 10 rounds of logs are laid and we have
reached
the upper floor level.
