Paul, it is looking really good.  It has been great to see a really long term project come to life.  You should be very proud of yourself for this accomplishment.  It was a long time ago since you made your initial call to us for info.  Very well done.

The old timbers are sweet!

The timbers are 180 year old Northern White Cedar. Old growth trees. Somewhat hard/petrified for cedar.

I put the timber frame up myself with 4 other guys and my crane. i posted pictures in my photo albulm of the timbers going up as well as the concrete walls. Be aware that the wall which I did the vertical carved concrete is solid 8" poured concrete. It's strong enough to hold the weight of the overlay. We did two pallets of Walt Tools Tru-pac as well as 8 pallets of quickcrete mortar. 70 gallons of concrete stain. A lot of material on the wall.
