We had a lot of fun building this house. It is an enclosed shell. The Hudson's are such nice people, we really enjoyed working with them on their home. They have become our friends and we look forward to visiting them soon. ♥ NOTE: The first pictures are at the bottom, scroll down! We took pictures almost every day to show the progress of this beautiful home. Finished Home
August 26, 2002 ~ The sealer is on, we're done!
This is my favorite picture, through the trees!
The Hudson's wanted a unique, rustic stairway (left). The stringers are made from a single cedar, split in half. The stair treads are 3" thick planks of red cedar! (right)View from loft.
August 12, 2002 ~ Hello, camera difficulties have been resolved, now lets get caught up on the work done during the past month!
View through the trees & from the back. Notice the basement wall (made of ARXX insulated concrete) will have log siding on the outside that exactly matches the profile of our full log walls above. Some of the log siding is installed in these pictures.
Wrap around porch!
Beams finished!
Don't they have a WONDERFUL view????
July 24, 2002 ~ Sorry we haven't updated for a while. My camera has been acting up! We have got the porch flooring down, all the windows installed, and most of the log siding on the gables!
