J & J Log Home

Finally finished the stone!

Stone is almost done on the entryway. Need another afternoon of decent weather to finish it off!

The roof framing is finished on the entryway and just needs flashing & shingles. Yesterday put a good dent into the decking as well, just have to finish the stairs & figure out some nice railing, then clean & stain the logs.

Few more days and the front entryway will be done!

Main roof is done except for some flashing at the top, then just have to stain the logs & put the decking down. Was nice to sit outside & have a coffee after the rain this morning.

Things have been slow because of weather & work travel, but it is coming along.

Getting started with the porch finally. Here are the 12" supports, they go down past the frost line. Dug by hand & took about 7 bags of concrete each. The cement mixer paid for itslef yet again! Mike & I got the first one up by hand: Last 2 I did myself using a chain hoist & some braces, worked out well: All 3 up, I also have about 1/2 the joists done now too but didn't get a picture. next will be putting a horizontal log across the top, then building a roof ontop :
