    The Wang's

    Setup Day!!!!

    The setup of the Wang's home took 3 days, with 4 to 5 builders working dawn to dusk. The crane operator was one of the best that we have worked with, and this fact enabled us to complete the setup in record time.

    --------------- DAY 1 -----------------
    The 70 ton crane arrives at 7:30 AM to get into position. The first log is set on the wang's utility building. One of our builders working the truck ... locating and hooking the logs for the next set.
    The first round is complete on the utility building. The fourth round is being set on the utility building. The builders discuss the logs to be placed next.
    Each log is tapped into place in the corners to set the logs tightly together. The first round is placed on the Wang's main house. The setup of the utility building is completed by noon. The setting of the first round on the main house is being set.

    --------------- DAY 2 -----------------
