Barn Raising

Trooper and I were hanging out on the farm this morning because the Timber Frame has arrived for the new farmhouse.

The Timbers arrived on the truck to be used in the construction of Trooper’s new post and beam house being built on the farm.

My initial inspection earned a paws up review from me – and I told the boys to start loading up the crane!

After the crane piled all the timbers into the new house, Trooper and I were anxious to see how they would put them together.

We watched from afar for a bit, but eventually we just couldn’t wait any longer to get our paws dirty too.

So Trooper convinced his mom and dad that we would promise to be safe if they let us get a little closer to see just how a post and beam house is constructed.

As you can imagine, Trooper was very excited!

I was enthralled with watching the construction workers help the crane lower the beams into the house.

But the very best part – getting to watch Trooper’s Dad pound some of the very first pegs into the timber frame.

It was a VERY exciting day, and Trooper even got to keep a souvenir of the day! Lucky! Ammo the Dachshund

  1. That was so fun Ammo! Watching a new house being built. Wow you were such a good helper also. We can’t wait to see more pics as it gets closer to completion.

    • It’s very exciting to watch! And I have to admit I’m SUPER jealous that Trooper gets a brand-new house, but he promised I can come play anytime I want.
