Congratulations on getting started. They reckon that all things come to those who wait and you have provided living proof of that.

Look forward to following your build once you get the technical issues sorted.

Looking good. Nice to see you have the site tamed and the technology under control.

It looks like you have a good view from your back yard. Should come together well.

Lee,
Great start! It looks like you have added some posts to support a cover.

How thick is your hearth slab going to be. Can you post a pic of how you are doing the lintel over the wood storage?
