June 2004: Sorry we haven't updated this page for a couple months! A lot of work has happened since the roof was installed. It was a challenge to get the loft flooring installed. The supplier kept sending us poor quality material and we sent it back five times before we finally hired a second company to mill the flooring of the quality we needed. Electric, plumbing and hvac rough-in is complete. Much of the log siding has been installed. Doors and windows are installed, and the decks are almost complete.
March 2004: The roof is installed. Inside work has begun.
February 24, 2004: This home will have a metal roof. A metal roofing sub-contractor will install the metal roofing after we complete the roof structure.
February 20, 2004: We've been working hard this past month to install the beams, build the garage and roof structure. Many days were below 10 degrees with lots of snow and ice!
January 5-16, 2004: Log walls up!
December 19-31, 2003: Happy Holidays!
December 11-18, 2003: We've been working on the log walls. This home is going to be so beautiful!
December 9 & 10, 2003: Rain & Snow!
December 8, 2003: Set first log! You can clearly see the all-thread rods in the picture on the right. The rods run from the bottom to the top of the log walls, and hold the logs tightly together.
December 3-5, 2003: mill logs.
December 1, 2003: subfloor.
November 25 - 28, 2003: set beam, floor joists.
November 17-21, 2003: build basement walls.
Here's what the home should look like when complete.
