Heading to the racks to pick up the next couple of logs for course #8 .

We wanted to carry two at once, since two of the four Jeff picked out for this course were in the same area on the racks...

...so we dragged the first log out, set it down...

...repositioned the chain to the balance point...

...lifted it again and swung it out near the next log we wanted to pick up...

...and set it down so we could chain it with the other log.

Carrying more than one log saves time and fuel!

Bringing the two logs to the south side of the house where one will get dropped off.

Our racks are beginning to show holes in them as we use up logs.

Sometimes we have to flip a log around to get it oriented the right way before lifting it up to the wall. A top end must sit on a butt end so the tapers alternate.

Jillena and Stephen watch Daddy unhook the lifting chains from the log that just got set.

The sun is beginning to sink to the northwest. We better get moving if we're going to finish pinning today.

Our cute forman, Stephen.

Paul cutting a bunch of rebar pins.

Jeff out on an overdangle doing some trimming with the chainsaw. The cloud bank in the background almost looks like a mountain skyline.

Paul got out there and did more trimming.
