Dennis C and Terry finished this wall.

      It has been two weeks since our last post of pictures.   Terry is going to let me post because he knows I am a little more "wordy" than he is.  So our update.  Our first log was laid Aug. 15th. and to this date, Sept. 28,   after just 6 weeks,  we have only one bundle of logs left.
     It has been amazing (yes I use that word a lot because it is ) the generosity of friends and family in the giving of their time.  So one more bundle and guess what, we are out of logs.   Terry the contractor, alias my husband, daily amazes me as I watch him through this process.  As we go through this journey we continue to learn more about ourselves and become the person Gods intends for us to be.

  As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I was concerned about how we were going to get the 16" purlins logs up to the highest point.  But on one of our work days we were able to get the two lower purlins up.  The most highest three ridge beams Terry put up on a day he was working my himself.  Not sure how he did it, but awfully glad he remained safe.  I will say he has a guardian angel maybe more than one.   You know Jesus was a carpenter.   I believe He is lending a helping hand.

The purlins are up and ready for the roof.

The master at work..(one of them)

Inside walls are beginning to be framed.

Rafters for the roof going up

One of two trusses went up on Saturday
  Patty and I got to help.

    Our goal is to get the roof on within the next 2 weeks.  This means the rafters need to be finished, decking on top of the rafters,  then the roof.   In order to finish the roof however, 3 window 

dormers need to be built as well as  the "drive through" portico.   Once we get the roof on we will work on putting the windows and doors in and then the cabin will be "dried" in....another monumental achievement we are looking forward to finishing.

     Cooler weather is here which continues to be ideal working conditions.  Looking forward to seeing the leaves turn providing us with the perfect background for our continued work on the cabin.

To God be the Glory...amen and amen.
