Week 3, 17.03. - 19.03.
We worked on slimming down the yard and preparing the mast. Additionally, we continued notching. The crossbeams are now complete, and we are focusing on the larger logs. The notches are necessary to ensure the rope used to bind the logs and crossbeams together stays in place and doesn’t move around.

We started by removing the roof beneath where the logs and crossbeams had been drying since Easter 2024. Afterwards, we spread them apart to work on each one. Then, we had to remove the bark from two crossbeams, the mast, and the yard. We also planned how the base would be constructed.
