Ammo the Dachshund // Post and Beam House Construction

After the timber frames arrived for Trooper’s new Post and Beam house the other day I was anxiously waiting to see what the finished product would look like. So when I arrived at the farm I was thrilled to see that the crew had managed to get most of the beams into place.

Trooper’s house made me feel so teeny tiny – something I have grown quite accustomed to over the years.

As the sun began to set I noticed that the construction crew had left something behind.

Souvenir pegs from the construction of the beams – extra short, just how I like them!

I made the obvious selection and I’m currently keeping it under my bed – to emerge when Trooper decides to taunt me and I can say “Look what I have, and you can’t have it”! Ammo the Dachshund

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
