Well four days were lost to the Hurricane, sounds strange being so far from the Atlantic, but the Thumb area of Michigan was indeed on the outside edge of that large system known as Hurricane Sandy. Thus, Saturday will be another work day. Not only has work been delayed, but the colder temperatures that come with late fall can cause a real problem. Cement can be poured in quite cold weather, but Roger doesn't like the results from the chemicals that provides that ability. Pouring of cement will end on the barn, when the temperature gets too cold.

| The second log squared to cut the timber from the heart of the log |
The second log is cut today. This shows the log before it is hewn. Notice the square marked in pencil. This part of the wood will be cut away leaving a timber ready to be used.

It's hard to tell, but to help the person doing the sawing, a guide made of a 2x4 wood is nailed on top and bottom of the log to keep the saw going straight.
