Dormers and Pretty Ceiling Lines in Upstairs!

Each of the upstairs bedrooms has a dormer window that looks out to the back of the house, and a big window on the side.


This is looking at the loft area.  We made the window very big in this area.

A Beautiful Front Porch is Next!


The porch is not complete yet, but they wanted to hurry and get it on, because the roofers start the day after tomorrow.

Stairway to Heaven (aka the 2nd floor)

Roof sheathing goes on!

Big Delivery from Golden Eagle Log Homes!




The truck drives all the way up to the building site this time.


Some of the windows were also delivered.  No photos, but the truck got stuck up at the building site because of the tight access.  Greg had to cut down a small pine out of the field so that it could get out.

The second floor goes up!

Second floor sub-floor is completed. 

Greg is standing in what will be the loft area. One bedroom and bath will be behind him.  I am standing in the other bedroom.


More interior work on first floor!

Let's go in the front door and check it out!

Very big load-bearing tree trunk at the corner of the kitchen.
Two sliding-glass doors will be in the dining room.

One view from the dining room.  (The deck isn't in place yet.)
