Been so long.........

Wow, it's been over two years since I posted anything.......sorry folks! We've done the roof, exterior stain, exterior chinking, decks, septic, rough plumbing, rough wiring, interior framing, built stairs, interior staining, HVAC, and most of the exterior trim




Here are a few pictures - as you can see we have come a long way since 2006!


And there is still so much left to do!!!!!

Progressing slowly

These are pictures from April. I'll post more pictures of May & June later. Things are going slower than I would like, but we are making progress!!

New Log Home

Just pictures for right now.

I've been very bad about
updating my blog. But, we have been incredibly busy. For right now, I'll just post some pictures of our progress:


We have framed the back wall of the foundation and two interior support walls in the basement.

Installing the big support beams was a major job.

Here's a picture of the guys taking a well deserved break.

With a lot of help from J.R., Mike, Joe & Steve my husband got the big support beams in the basement installed and installed the floor trusses and subfloor material. Here's the end result:

Ready for the header logs

The crew at Tamarak Log & Timber Homes is ready to fit the top row of logs on our home.

More Progress

Tim Bullock (Tamarak Log Homes) sent me some new pictures of our home. They are working on round 3, yippee!

We also had the basement plumbing inspected yesterday and it passed - no problems.

So it looks like we are making some progress!!

Our Logs

Our log home is being crafted by Tamarak Log and Timber Homes in Jane Lew, West Virginia. The logs will be full length, flattened on two sides and joined with dovetail notches. Just like the old Appalachian log cabins (only with HVAC and running water!)
