Five Courses of Logs Are Now Up!

It's been a couple of weeks since we could add some pictures to show the progress on our log home. Gary had a week of Jury Duty, then the weather turned rainy the following week, and that shut down the work. This week, there were just two days that Gary and Carl could work on the log cabin due to prior commitments. Here are four more pictures of the log cabin--our future home! This first picture is of the northern wall of the great room/living room. (Right side of picture is facing north and the wall facing you looks east.)

In this picture, Debi is standing in the space where the future French doors will be in the master bedroom. She is facing west toward the big pine trees in the backyard. We positioned the French doors and windows of the great room to take advantage of the wonderful view of the trees in the backyard.

This picture shows the northeastern corner of the garage wall. We are really enjoying the look of the knots in the logs. We had purposely requested as many knots as possible--we like the character that knots give a log cabin.

This picture shows Debi standing in the space where the front door will be. The front entry will have rock around it, but we still haven't found the "perfect" front door. We've looked and looked, and the one that we like the best is WAY out of our price range. We may just put in something really simple (and inexpensive) at first, and then save up for the front door. We can't wait to open the front door and see you standing there!
