Building the house part 4

Almost ready to put the roof on.  This is the gable for the garage entrance.

And now we have the standing seam roof!  Just in time, it's starting to snow!
These windows are for the two guest bedrooms.

We'll be painting the outside doors green to match the roof.  Eventually we may replace them with handmade doors, but for now they'll be fine.

The crew caulked and stained the outside of the house and also the inside corners since that all needed to be done before the winter.  We'll do the rest of the inside ourselves.

We are using tongue and groove aspen for the ceiling.  We'll also have foam insulation in between the roof and the ceiling to keep things nice and warm inside.

These upper level windows don't open, but they will be great for letting lots of light inside the cabin.  The windows on the back side will open, so we can get good air flow into the bedrooms.


One of the bedroom windows.

The staircase up to the mud room.  The smaller window is in the kitchen, over the sink.  The double window is in the living room.


Linda is really excited, this is the first time she's seen the house since the logs went up!
Cuchara is having a really mild Thanksgiving, most of the snow has melted and it's getting up into the 50's in the daytime.  Still down in the 20's at night, though.  We have come up to do a little work over the Thanksgiving holiday.






 Lots of wood left over for carving!
 The garage door works already, seeing it go up and down is a thing of beauty!
