Cheese?

Construction on the new MacTavish Lodge proceeds apace. Although there seems to be a lot of social gatherings occuring at the moment, we somehow are keeping up to our fairly rigorous schedule. With many hands we have managed to make light work of the task so far.

Yesterday evening, for example, was a race against the sunset to push the project along. While several of us were digging deep postholes, another was checking the alignments and measurements as well she could. Who better to keep the lads in line!

While that was occuring and under the guidance of skilled hands, several of us had pulled suiably chosen and dressed logs to the site. There, the timber was more finely prepared, including some delicate chisel work at the 'top' of these future poles. Still others of us were adding the final twists to the rope we would require.

Using the last of the natural light, the various elements of this stage of the project were combined, and we rigged up the lever and pulley systems we planned to use to raise our first uprights on the morrow.

We were very much looking forward to the traditional rabbit stew which our vegetable farmers produced for our evening meal, with afters of bread and cheese.

Where'd the cheese come from?
