We've Been Workin' On The Log Walls...All The Live Long Day

Glasses? Check! Hat? Check! Face Mask? Check! Gloves? Check! Brushing Tool? Check! It's time to get to work!
We brushed the walls to bring out the wood grain. Steve did everything up high..
Vanessa did everything down low...
Vanessa blew the sawdust off...
Steve sprayed the clear sealer on...
And after four days of exhausting work, we're left with sore muscles...
and beautiful, log walls!
Nothing much looks different on the outside, though the back end of the house is sealed up and ready for cedar shingles. The front and back porch roofs are done and ready to be shingled along with the main roof.
In the next several weeks the electrical, plumbing, propane tank, septic tank, and decking will be installed. After that, installation of fixtures, flooring, and appliances will be put on the inside. Our contractor is still saying we'll be in by the end of Septemer. We pray he's right and will keep you posted!
