Reconstructing the Peyton Randolph Dairy Reconstruction, page 1

Dairy


With the recently reconstructed smokehouse in the background, Colonial Williamsburg visitors help to raise the dairy walls.	Now that the dairy walls are raised, plumbed, and pegged, it's time to run up the ceiling joists.

Carpenters carefully measured and cut the frame before assembling it, so just a little pushing and shoving makes a good fit on raising day.	The joists are on–let's put on the rafters!
