Update on the cabin includes more work needs to be done.   We are in need of another "work" day to make a lot more progress.   Terry, his nephew, and my brother have been working very hard to get where we are today.   The second floor is about ready to be added.  A few more heavy logs to get in place first.  All four walls are up and even some interior framing has been done.   We really need to get the heavy logs up so the fork lift can be returned, an added expense which we did not budget for...but very much needed.   My contractor husband is very strong but not that strong.   And we still do not know the answer to the question posted in the last blog...."How do we get the mother of all logs up on the ceiling?"   I see a crane in our future...another expense not in the budget...but needed.

Most of the log walls are up

Beams and Joists ready for the second floor

Our Character Log in the center of our Cabin

Most of the 2nd floor framing in place
Only 1 beam and 6 more joists

 Terry has been off for 4 days for the holidays.   He is anxious to get back to his building.  I love seeing his excitement  over what has been accomplished and his thought process for what is yet to come.  I love being part of this amazing journey.   I love bringing our friends and family in and seeing how it brings all of us a little bit closer.   Looking forward to the next few weeks as the second floor will be completed and hopefully the "mother " of all logs looking down from the rafters above.
