Upstairs almost done

 We finished the last of the t&g on top of the beams, then topped with 3/4" subfloor, super sturdy and solid now.


Built a set of stairs, still need to close them in underneath for pantry/storage.

Started framing upstairs this weekend, got the bathroom and bedroom almost completed. Just need  to finish up to the ceiling.

 

Jessica sanded a bunch of logs in the laundry room area, they are nice and smooth now.

 

Layla was also helping today, she needed the heater.

Thanks!
Little bit at a time, hopefully we'll get an early spring so we can get everything stained soon.

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!

Loft joists are finished

Image
Finally got back down to the house today (did I mention night work stinks??) & finished off the other 1/2 of the loft floor joists. Ready for some OSB decking on-top. The bottom will be covered with drywall & the top will likely stay unfinished.
