the structure

My brother is building a "structure," for our father. Dwight specializes in changing the skylines of small towns and rural horizons. To inquire about the possibility of altering a vista near you, click here.

Of course, structures like this do not spontaneously appear, so I have condensed the chronology for your viewing pleasure.


1) setting forms for the foundation


2) burning the stumps


3) Uncle Kenny checks out the pour


4) ah, it's a beaut, eh?


5) working in sub-freezing temps? priceless!


6) paradise


7) threading the needle


8)


9) Dad supervises the close work


10) with a little practice, they perfected the method


11) finally, the rafters are up


12) the roof's on just in time for the predicted freezing rain


13) movable scaffolding--it's the latest rage in construction accessories


14) interior shot


15) Mark plans the next angle cut


16) the front of the structure
