Front and back porches are done!

Things are really progressing on the cabin. Front and back porch are done. The roof sheeting is on. This past Friday cousin Billy Baragiola came out and sand blasted the interior and exterior of the logs and the underside of the second story floor.  The wood grain really shows some detail. If you look close you can see the hardware cloth is in place between some of the logs.

Monday the roofers will be on site. I have a crew of 4 men coming up from Owensville. It will be a one day job. I ended up going with a tin roof. It will be brown so as not to take away from the rest of the building. We had discussed going with cedar shingles and decided against it. Due to maintenance. There will be insulation under the tin. I can rest easy once the roof is in place.

Coming up ... frame out of doors and windows and finding a wood stove that works for the time period.
