September 29, 2007: Logs Delivered

Our logs came from the upper peninsula of Michigan. We had 112 Pine logs delivered of which 103 went into the house. They came in two loads a day apart. Each truck had a self loading trailer with a big mechanical claw for unloaded, the whole process took less than 30 minutes to unload.

It looks like they came pre-peeled! Can I ask who you got your logs from and their cost? I am in Iowa and probably a similiar transport cost to here as to Indiana...thanks!

Same question as Todd. We're on the hunt for some logs as well, could you let us know where you found yours? Your house looks great! It's been exciting to read through your blog and watch it go together. jeremy.dehut@gmail.com

Second floor 4x10's done and a few windows

 We finished getting all the 4x10's up on the girders, leveled, and secured. Also installed another 3 windows, the two fixed pane in the living room are in, and the slider in the kitchen as well. The next ones and the patio door I'll need Jessica's help with, too heavy to do alone. Cleaned up a little as it was getting messy .  Not too far from starting interior wall framing!!

Interior clear done

Image
Busy weekend; the interior finish is complete!! We decided to do a clear satin finish. Each log is so unique we felt this would bring out its natural beauty. Lots of work to get them ready for this weekend. - Powerwash 3x - grinded all logs with flap disk - palm sanded inside (60 grit) - scrubbed with cleaning solution - applied a brightner - coated logs in borate (keeps the bugs out!) - applied Pre-Stain #sashcocolorfast - sanded between each coat of clear. We couldn’t be happier! The logs have a soft, smooth texture with a luxurious sheen. Exterior stain this weekend!

Progress again

 We finished the cleaning, brightening, borate to keep the bugs away, and 20 gallons of pre-stain sprayed last weekend. We started insulating and did a test run with a bag of mortar mix vs mixing it separately like last time. Stain for the outside and clear coat for the inside should be delivered soon, that's next
