Barn Build

Here are a few photos of a barn project located here in Kittery Point that I recently helped construct as I look for full time employment. The main structure is 24'x24' with an 8'x24' shed roof structure off the back. The frame is rough sawn hemlock. This was not a kit, we created the mortise and tenons, the laps, the let-ins, all from scratch. It was a pretty cool experience.

Leah and Will Get Baptized

The rain held off in Peapack-Gladstone yesterday as the Simpson twins joined the church. Large numbers of Millers and Simpsons then went to Bill and Laura's to celebrate. A good time was had by all.

I had several pieces.

Uncle Chuck on the Trampoline

Hunter and Hope love to get someone new on their trampoline. Unca Chuck was game. He played their version of "Blindman's Bluff" with them. Laying in the middle with eyes closed you must try to touch one of them. Char had a very effective "steamroller" move that quickly brought Hope down. He then took his place singing the taunting chant.

June Moon

"In a bowl to sea went wisemen three,
On a brilliant night of June:
They carried a net, and their hearts were set
On fishing up the moon."
-Thomas Love Peacock

Hey did anyone check out the moon last night? "Its silvery beams will bring love's dreams". Its June Baby, its bustin out all over as Oscar H. would say. Enjoy the day everyone!
