Wood you believe it

This week we went to order the wood for the new staircase Brian is building in the barn. We visited a couple places to understand what’s available, and found that they do have quite a choice of hardwoods, however they may not always be the sizes you need – it just depends what is available. We adapted the plan slightly and have now ordered the wood that we need, which will be delivered next Friday, but only if it’s not raining. Apparently they will not deliver in the rain, I love that.

I know building the stairs is a completely new challenge for Brian, but he enjoys working with wood and always achieves great results especially when working with hard woods. He likes the precision. I’m now looking forward to seeing how this comes together.

Friday morning Christophe arrived with François and Quentin to prepare the concrete base for the boiler, and ready the kit for Monday when they will start to install it. They positioned the chaudière and put the silo together, the difficult part starts next week.

The floor got a smooth concrete treatment before the chaudière was positioned
