September 2, 2011. Western Head, N.S. Progress.

It has been three months since the fire in The Carriage House, but finally, the construction of The Guest House has begun.   All this week, the men and machines have been working, first pouring the concrete for the footings and next putting up the moulds for the foundation and finally bringing  the cement truck to fill in the moulds.  Today, the concrete is curing and the large machine has been removed, so the construction site is quiet.

In addition, the parking area has been extended eight feet so all the large rocks and soil have been moved.  The new structure will be 24' by 32'  with a deck on the water side.   It will not be A Folly.  It will be a perfectly reasonable two story building.  But the most important point  is that  the construction has begun.  It is fine to think and plan but the building of the structure is obviously the most important part.  And we have now started the process.
