But I gotta keep my poker face on and pretend I love it and be strong. As soon as I show any doubt in my decisions, the crew will

In the meantime, we'd like to get all of the cabin posts out before the show airs this fall. We don't have an air date yet, as soon as we do I will let you know.

In our last cabin post, we finished up the timberframe raising.

Today, I'll show you how we did two things - enclosed the ups
