Rod and Drew are two of the main guys working on the framing project which is the second phase of the construction project ongoing here at the winery. Click on the photo to check out a slideshow of photos that I took this morning. The first phase of the project was to dig a ditch around the outside of the winery. Pat and Richard worked on this project for the most part. After we dug the hole, Rod came in with some steel rebar and poured a concrete footing all the way around. The footing will serve as the foundation for the new cedar siding as it goes up.
At the same time today on another area of the property we received our Western Red Cedar for the project. Rather than buying wood product from a lumber company we decided to buy this cedar locally from a provider in the nearby Crow Valley. We're going to then have the logs milled here at LaVelle Vineyards by a local millwright named Pony Gilbert. He owns the Long Tom Custom Saw Mill and has worked on several projects in the Fern Ridge area. So, if you click on the photo to the left you'll get a slideshow of photos with this big crane thing lifting the logs off the log truck and setting them on the ground near our house.
