Geez been a while, started on the foundation!

 So permits took a while this spring but finally got approved. Had to add some drain field to the septic to make the county folks happy.

Digging for the foundation went well, only hit a bit of rock. 




Jessica and I built the footer forms:



And we put the rebar in, then inspected (and passed):


Concrete and pump truck is scheduled for Tuesday!


Foxbock ICF were delivered yesterday, good timing, huge Legos.

You're gaining ground everyday. Nicely done. My dream plan is very similar to your design (and I have only seen your foundations.) I very much look forward to follow your journey. Very grateful for your time in sharing the photos and your process. Thank you, Chris CA

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

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!
