of chopping timber Ernie Ellison may have lived In Georgetown for years but he hasn forgotten his brief experience as a score hacker when his father barn was being built near Mark dale Mr says he drew the blueprint for his father and they cut almost all the timber for the barn out of their own bush Only he rafters had to be cut from his uncle bush It was a three beam bam which was the common kind in that area The outside posts were feet high and the whole was feel by feet long with a one third pitch roof The bam was built the side of a hill and when the I- lllsons began digging for the foundation they found gravel in hill They only had to haul a dozen loads of gravel in a yard box to finish off the cement for the foundation The rafters were peeled and flattened on one side he says The posts and girls were sawed Only the plates and beams were cut with the and thus he only had two days of The is the man who chops the first bits off the limber before the Is used to square it You chop into the side of the log and give your wrist a bit of a turn just as you get into the wood Mr explains That loosens the chip so that the chops it You con I go deep though the timber Mr put In or and swelled up badly he could hardly feed the the next morning He let someone else try It the second day but he wain very good and the third day he finished off the job himself Doing it for one barn was enough He never tried again The barn went up in one doy once was ready It was put up with pike poles a bent at a time he says There must hivi been IPO to ISO men to help raise the bam They began just after dinner and by More recently barns were raised with block and tackles and a gin pole The Ellison barn however was done the old way All pieces for Mr saya the men who came to the bam raising brought Ihelr wives to his mother feed the gang The table was Be up in the yard and everyone ate before they went home The visiting women brought pies and cokes and that sort of thing to help but his mother had had to peel all he potatoes and vegetables for the crew and prepare seems Although many remember years when tfie hues were bad none recall disasters Mr Ellison says grasshoppers were so bad in 1895 that the crops were wiped out His grandfather built a barn that year and then had nothing to put it Many farmers wound up cutting cedar boughs from the swamps to feed their cattle before that wmtcrwas over he The big grasshoppers came from the prairies after a year of very heavy snow whlfh nted the ground freezing They right through Bruce and Grey counties and came at least as fai as bent together Then the men would gel under the timers at each end of and start raising the end the way caber tosser raises his caper Once the bent was as hlah as the men could reach other men would put pike poles poles withspikers in the end under the bent and raise it as high as they could next group with longer poles would lake over and ranc it higher The process continued until the whole bent was upright mediately it would be fastened the adjoining section and the with a screen and a belt behind the mixer The Seventh Line corner was built with a sharp bind Mr Morrison says Two or three years after it was paved it was decided that the corner was too sharp ana eorncr was construct which drivers could take at miles per hour That comer was until the road was reconstructed in 1968 Id gun the
