I've Got Wood
Since we finally were able to get our permit I spoke with my cousin Tyler, the expert that is helping me build this bad boy (man has he). He and his dad have a large construction operation and offered to help me out as much as he could. We decided this weekend was going to be the weekend to get started.
Friday 19th, ProBuild delivered the first part of the lumber package and Tyler came up with some of his equipment.
Saturday 20th, drilled 22 holes for the 6x6in 16ft poles, Grand Traverse County redefines the word overkill... in our opinion at least. haha. Our 22 holes each were 36 inches wide, 58 inches deep, with 10 inches thick of concrete. Luckily I was able to rent an auger, and Tyler brought his Bobcat.
that morning we started by putting up our string and batter board, I believe that is what it is called, it kept our holes and pole placement straight
