At length, in the beginning of May, with the help of some of my acquaintances,rather to improve so good an occasion for neighborliness than from anynecessity, I set up the frame of my house. No man was ever more honored in thecharacter of his raisers than I. They are destined, I trust, to assist at theraising of loftier structures one day. I began to occupy my house on the 4th ofJuly, as soon as it was boarded and roofed, for the boards were carefullyfeather-edged and lapped, so that it was perfectly impervious to rain; butbefore boarding I laid the foundation of a chimney at one end, bringing twocartloads of stones up the hill from the pond in my arms. I built the chimneyafter my hoeing in the fall, before a fire became necessary for warmth, doingmy cooking in the mean while out of doors on the ground, early in the morning:which mode I still think is in some respects more convenient and agreeable thanthe usual one. When it stormed before my bread was baked, I fixed a few boardsover the fire, and sat under them to watch my loaf, and passed some pleasanthours in that way. In those days, when my hands were much employed, I read butlittle, but the least scraps of paper which lay on the ground, my holder, ortablecloth, afforded me as much entertainment, in fact answered the samepurpose as the Iliad.
