Drywall is Installed

The Dalmatian Room

We have sheet rock! Drywall! Whatever you want to call it, there are walls in our log cabin. And...the building inspector signed it off today. The next step is taping and painting. We are hiring a professional to tape the drywall and "mud" over the nail and screw holes. In the meantime, Gary can install the electrical outlets and switches all over the house.

Great Room Ceiling

The great room ceiling will eventually be covered with tongue and groove, but we just wanted to get the ceiling in sooner. We knew it would be a slight added expense, but in the meantime, Debi can clean up the tongue and groove that got the black mold. Then Gary and the Kayser boys can put up the tongue and groove as they have time.

The wall that you see to the right of the pantry will be Debi's "Baking Center". The counter will be slightly lower so that rolling out pastry and bread dough will be easier. There will be cupboards above the counter to hold pie pans, cookie sheets, and all things associated with baking.

Wood Stove Hearth

Where you see "cement board", there will be river rock on the walls, and slate on the flat part of the hearth. There will be river rock on the face of the hearth. About five feet up (where you see the cement board go from four sheets to two sheets) there will be a log mantel.
