We hosted a wall-raising this morning. Everything went well and, with six people lifting, it was fairly easy and we were done in well under an hour. However, I had the distinct feeling that I should have been wearing dark clothes and a bonnet, and that my horse and buggy should have been hitched somewhere nearby along with those of my neighbors.
The gable wall into position is now secured in place with temporary braces until the smaller side walls are each built (they will each be 8 feet long, as opposed to the 27.5 feet span of the gable wall), and then we can move on to the roof.
