3 days off!!

... for some that may mean some down time, rest, and relaxation. But not for us! No, we must use that time to WORK ON THE HOUSE! :o)


I am so excited about the work we have done in the past few days....

Saturday we brought down 178 logs, and Sunday we lost count of how many we did. Monday we finished bringing down all the house logs, and the windows and doors - not without event, however! Thankfully, no injuries or mishaps - only frustrating wasps and nests. It made slow going at times, trying to watch for and swat at the pesky things without dropping whatever were carrying!


They say pictures are worth a thousand words, so I shall let them do the talking. I'm short on words anyway, it is too darn early!


We have stair rails now, and all the interior walls in the basement have been framed in, all that is left is one closet.

All the house logs are down from the street - and we even managed to get some carried upstairs!

Here is the view from the front door....

And the back doors....

And up the driveway.... not too steep compared to some of our future neighbors, but steep enough when you are carrying building materials down!

We will work each night this week, carrying the logs up that are to be stacked the following day. (They are all numbered.)

Gotta stay ahead of the crew! :o)
