Here in my log cabin that I have been building for a thousand years now. Nope, just kidding. It has been a long time build thou. Not in a huge hurry and it is 320 miles away from me. Right now it is just a shell with a roof besides the loft floor and back door. It is a one and a half loft butt method log cabin. The logs I fell, drug, peeled and stacked every log from my property. This summer the base floor, windows and one more of the doors will go in. I am also going to chink it with mortor nothin fancy. I will before I chink hand stuff the spaces between the logs with fiberglass insulation and the tack down aluminum lath to hold the mortor. I will get something going soon for pics. It has been fun and at the same time nerve racking build. I am ready to get it done and stay in it. I must give a special thanks to all my friends and family for the generious amounts of help they have provided.
Enjoy. 8)
This is the side/front of the cabin. The log about midway up on the side is where the loft floor deck will be along with a door and a window. The front will have a resest porch and the porch will also stretch down the front of the cabin.
Awesome job Heep! Looking forward to seeing more, :D
Al
How long did it take to get that far?
great work heep. don't forget to invite us to the house warming party. ;D
A chinking party is what I need to do d*
It has taken me a long time to do this. It has never been a job or a high priority for me. Just sorta a fun goal and it is also 320 miles away. These past three seasons I have stepped up the pace a bit because of raising fuel costs and my bones are getting tired and wanna see what it is like to relax in it. I real don't have alot to do to get it sealed in, I should (I hope) get that all done this summer except for the actual chinking. I will get the fiberglass and most of the wire done before the snow flies again. Oh, the elevation is 5,000' so I only get to work on it when it isn't buried in snow. This winter I should be able to pack in and work on the inside stuff with a wood stove to keep me warm.
I bought the land I think back in 88" and I beleive I started in 92" ???
Been awhile since I have been here ???. All the windows are in, doors are in and some furnishing. Propane cook stove, wood stove and some furniture. I am headed up there for 11 days to do the mortor in between the logs at the end of July. Hoping to get it all done(mortor). Enjoy
