Moved in!!

About a year and a half later, we have officially moved in!

The final inspection went fairly well, we have a couple minor things to fix so the inspector is happy.

We are finishing up with trim & baseboards, all the interior doors are in & trimmed out as well. We'll start on the outside porch & entryway once all the inside is completed & moving boxes unpacked :)

Pics to come soon....

Hi, I've been lurking here since last fall. Reading about your progress and seeing the great pictures is very inspiring. Congrats on your awesome accomplishment!

I took the LHBA class in June 2006, and I'm planning to build here in Oregon before I get too much older. ;-)

You guys rock. I'm so happy for you!

Stain samples

Image
Jessica & I needed to figure out what stain to use to protect the logs. We ordered samples from 3 different companies (listed below). Here's our logs (red pine), cleaned but no stain as a reference: Heres the stain list that corresponds to the sample #'s on the logs: Sikkens Natural Oak Sikkens Natural Sikkens Natural Light Sikkens Butternut Sikkens Cedar Sikkens Teak Woodguard Honey 2000 NF Woodguard Honey Base NF Woodguard Warm Pecan NF Woodguard Tawny Cypress NF Woodguard Dark Walnut NF High Sierra Applewood High Sierra Tan Pine High Sierra Bronze Sycamore We narrowed it down to 12 + 14, so we coated 1/2 a log in each of the remaining samples, and the applewood color (12) really looks to be the best for us.

Kitchen almost done!

Image
 Kitchen cabinets were delivered a couple weeks ago, we got everything installed. Also got lucky and find a range hood cover that was the perfect size and a really good deal, so picked it up and installed it.  Got the vent insert nstalled this weekend. Finished some lighting above the sink and in the hallway as well as the island plugs and dishwasher.  We installed the shower slider doors in the master as well, and the mirror above the vanity.   Oh and we also got fridge, stove and dishwasher delivered!
