Scenes from a family barn raising.

With my family and friends, any gathering is liable to result in a good amount of high spirited back-and-forth banter. And when you’re gathered for something difficult and strenuous, such moments can help keep the mood light and working relations pleasant. This is, after all, not worth the effort if we can’t do it amicably. Despite the intense schedule of the work, some downtime is inevitable, and my brothers need little excuse to fill such time with play. Below is a series of photos taken during the shop build that capture some of the candid, wholesome, or humorous moments from the week.
