The last couple of days were spent finishing the roof of the shop in preparation for forecast snow. The snow never came (but more is forecast for later this week), but it sure is a nice feeling to have that roof there to protect the logs and interior, even if it's just tar paper right now. While the tar paper would last through the winter just fine, we're ordering the metal roofing and hope to be able to install it in a few weeks. The perimeter overhangs are covered with 1x6 pre-stained boards, so we won't have to stain those nasty soffits from a ladder getting a kink in our necks.
Deb then covered the windows and doors with plastic to further keep rain and snow from blowing in. We have the windows and will install them once we get the porch done. That door looks pretty slick, eh?
Today I started on the porch logs.
Hi, you built this cabin exactly like the one I'll begin to build in a few months. You're the only one I found on the net who done like this. Would you please accept to help me buy answering a couple of questions like how you fitted the corners, what is the compression of the wood over the years etc, ?
