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!

The Logs are On-Site

We got them moved from Dallison's even in thunderstorms and rain! First bundle setting on subfloor. If all goes according to plan they will start about 10 this morning.

And the Rains Came Again

...and so did the logs. We had to unload them at Dallison's Lumber. The mud was so bad it would suck the shoes off your feet.

We've Got A Floor

Thanks to many many hardworking folks who fried themselves in the hot sun this weekend...

I wonder if Dad is talking about where the shade trees are going to go?

The future music room:

The subfloor is complete, ready for the logs which are coming in just two days!

Now We've Got Ourselves Some Real Progress!

A completed basement! Sub-floor to come in just a couple of days.

Logs set for delivery on May 28th.
Evenings on the front porch in the woods a few months later.

(Chuck appears to be in deep thought here)

Look at that view... beautiful spring day with blue skies, lush green trees, privacy and two (count them!) two bathrooms in a single house. It will be worth all the agony and truckloads of gravel for the road!

And then it began to rain....

And progress ground to a halt...

The celebrities can't have their photo taken without agent approval...

But my, oh my, won't it be a wonderful view from the front porch when complete!
