Sean's brother, Paul, was our master carpenter on the project

The farm crew discusses the installation plan

Up, up, up it goes...

LOVE it! Looks fabulous. How inspiring. One of these days I'd love to put one of those up here. Of course, simple things like plumbing and heating have to come first...sigh...
