The window openings have plastic to keep some cold out while work is done on the inside. The windows are on order. Look closely and you can see the smoke coming out of the chimney.
The east side is now fully enclosed. The clapboard siding was removed from a 60 year old school house, cleaned and used on this project. It really adds to the look. I had referred to the east side as the Trot end of Cabin. Actually it is no longer the Dog Trot section. It is now called the timber frame section.
See the guy in camo leaning against the boards in the bed of my truck?
The story: We ran out of boards to finish the gable end of the porch. I made a trip a little town NW of Edwardsville (so small I can’t remember the name) to pick up 150 foot of 1 x 12 pine. It came from a 80 year old barn that was torn down to make way for Highway 66.
The fella in the picture had it in storage.
This river ice picture was taken from underneath the Page Extension Bridge where it crosses the Missouri river .
The next big step: We are waiting for a break in the weather to chink the interior of the cabin.
