Staking the ground for the Wedding Gazebo

Robbie, myself and Sophie position the stakes for our oldest daughter's wedding gazebo. Noel and her fiance, Danny, will be married here this summer.

Yep. that's me. I like getting my hands dirty... and my butt.


We had to level a string to help us level the ground.

Sophie became an expert at reading the string level. A perfect job for her.

If you look closely you can see a rough outline for the gazebo. It started out as an eight post gazebo design. We later changed it to a six post design.

There were too many tree roots to dig up the soil by hand, so we brought in the big shovel. Robbie loves to dig in the dirt with the big shovel.

Welcome to the Art Farm

This blog will follow the building of our art-barn-house and our dream. Twenty five years into marriage with my best friend, with five wonderful children, we are building something beautiful. We started with a wedding gazebo spring 2010.

More than wood and stone - we are building relationships and memories. This view is from a boat on our pond.

As of August 2007 we have our own little piece of the world - ten wooded acres, where we will build our long awaited Art Barn - our home and art studios.
