Cellar

So, after Peter installed our septic system, he started in on our cellar.  In this country, people build basements.  The basements get wet because the water table is so high here.  Our house is next to a coulee (that's North Dakotan for "creek").  We did not want a full basement.  But we thought a cellar to store all of our garden harvest would come in handy...also for those occasions when the sky looks green and tornadoes are on the loose in the area!  A construction site isn't the safest for little boys (and especially a toddler) and Peter is such a fast worker, that I've not gotten nearly the number of progressive pictures that I've wanted to.  But, I will share with you what I DO have:)

Peter did some bracing with other posts until he could finish the upper structure of the cellar
