This one turned out to be fairly short and lots of fun.  Granted, it resulted in lots of sore muscles and a sore throat, but I got outside for a  while and managed to stay close to home this time.  I spent a couple of  days outside with my new companion Stella the non-robot dog (all of you thought it was a joke when I posted the ad for a companion, but she took it seriously) and cut a couple of dozen cedar posts.  4 posts for the main structure, 11 for support and 2 for the smoke flaps.

Poles for the supporting structure and the smoke flaps (the ends)

North, South, Door and Lift poles, with an 18-foot metal pole for perspective (mine, not yours).
