Progress Pictures

It has been a few days with no pictures. Progress is slowing down a bit as work begins on the details, so less dramatically changing photos, but here are a couple of great shots of the house:

The view of the house heading up the driveway:

This is the back end of the house, where the master bedroom and bath are located:

That's Dave on the roof, trying to look tough.

Here's a great shot of the ceiling in the living room:

and a view looking down from the loft into the living room:

You can almost make out the tin roof by ABC Metals that is going on the dormer. It is a light greyish color and will blend well with the final exterior stain.

And THIS is the back yard of the little house on the hill, lit by the sun, surrounded by trees.

The logs for the house are from Old Timer Log and Supply Company in Joliet, TN.

Progress

Here's a photo of the house as it will be seen coming up the driveway - minus windows, naturally.

Some pictures of the white pine ceiling and hemlock beams. This is going to be a grand space when it is finished!

This is the kitchen ceiling, which ducks down to a single story in height, making the space more cozy:

Dave is now a roofer extraordinaire!

The bad part is that Tammy's pool is still green, so he can't jump in after a long, hot day in the sun.

Raisin More Roof

I got nauseous just looking at these.

This ceiling will be exposed in the house:

Raising the Roof!

The second floor and Roof Rafters are going up.

Mom is inspecting the progress....

The tongue and groove for the ceiling comes today...

Tiiiinnnn Rooof! comes shortly after.

Interior Walls Are Going Up.

Exterior Logs are done, work on interior walls are underway, but rain is forecast for the next few days.... this has got to be the rainiest spring we've had in several years. Good for the green green grass, bad for construction and muddy, mucky messes.

It's coming along quickly now!

It is really taking shape ---

Inner partition walls are going in next in order to get started on the second floor, then the roof is coming.

Up They Go!

The first row of logs going in --





Dave and Dad are hard at work!

More rows are going in, and will go up really quickly from here. Mom needs to get the tin roof ordered, we will need it before you know it!

Framing out the Front Door:

This is the back yard!
