nik Cutting off a soggy sonotube end. Not an easy task but he saw it through. He SAW IT THROUGH!

nik 150+ years of combined experience came out to help ALL day, including bringing us dinner! Couldn’t believe the energy these two had.

nik Kitchen beams waiting to be mounted in the ceiling, timber post and knee brace in the background.
nik “Add new post.” Ha, there, I added a new post. This one has four beams going off it, at three different heights. Yeesh.
