Patio door and kitchen window done

 Second living room window also cut in the other day.

The patio door was the largest hole we had to cut in the wall. Luckily it missed rebar on both sides, and the height fell in between a course of logs. So it went relatively quick .

Lots of firewood! I saved the 6' long lower 4 logs because they were pretty big, maybe make a good fire pit bench some day .





Today I finished the kitchen window 

This one was a pain in the ass. It fell 1/2 way into one of the largest logs in the house, and the top had to be cut in a couple inches too. Because of the height of the kitchen countertops....


But it turned out well after a lot of chiseling and chain sawing.

Second floor 4x10's done and a few windows

Image
 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
