"Village Style".
We need to get paint and sand the rough cut lumber and shim the bottom of the stairs, etc., but it basically finished.
The interior ceiling on the stick half of the cabin is tore down. What a mess. Old insulation and dust accumulated over many, many years. I start to cough just thinking about it.
We started to get the new floor joists - ceiling put up today. Tomorrow we hope to get the half of the floor decked with the 3/4" plywood. Then we must rip up the flooring on the stick side of the house as it is about three plus different levels at this time.
I have been looking like a ground hog as I crawl under the house and attempt to level somewhat the whole structure. It will not be perfectly level because the logs on the cabin side go into the ground about 6 feet and there is no structure under the stick side of the house.
As you can well imagine it is a mess. The house/cabin is basically a small old log cabin with a small old stick frame house butted up against it. Nothing is level or fits right. So we make the best of it and compromise on almost everything.
Holly is taking pictures as we go and hope to get some up soon. We must now get everything out of the house and try to make a bed somewhere as we tear off the ceiling on the cabin side of the house. That means open to all the mosquitoes and bees and flies and gnats and no-see-um, etc.
Having fun, wish you were here!
