Amazing that there isn’t a single nail to the entire inside frame of this post and beam barn that is going up in Essex. All put together with wooden dowel pegs and notching.
If you click the picture and select “all sizes” you can see some of the wooden pegs sticking out.

Quite a bit done in a day. Sometimes the simplest designs are the most beautiful.

THE ESSEX SHIPBUILDING MUSEUM presents: Row Hard No Excuses on Friday, June 6, at 7:30pm.
See this personal documentary in which two middle-aged men set out to win “the world’s toughest race”-three thousand miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat.
Is it a noble quest or an ill-fated nightmare? Admission: $10 members, $15 non-members. 978-768-7541 www.essexshipbuildingmuseum.org

This picture was taken on Friday of Memorial day weekend. Still some boat slips not filled. It will be interesting to see by next Tuesday how many of these boat slips will be filled. Memorial Day is usually when people start to put their boats in for the season.
