The telehandler really comes in handy. That about 7 feet of log and about 450 lbs. it's going to make a nice bench someday.

It is shaping up nicely. Looks really great.

I can only imagine how much different the inside must look with the additional light.

 

[BoFuller]

All front windows are in.

And then we finished the windows in back.

Then we put in the back door and porch.

Nice progress! Almost fully enclosed from the looks of it. I wish I had more time and energy to update my thread. Spending too much time working on the house, and getting the old house ready to sell. I'm up to my ears here!

Ok, I knew all along those logs must be massive, but that pic with the door really put things in perspective as to the size of your home.

I've heard of the term Brick sh|+ house, but what do you call it when its built with logs???

WOW!

Mr. Fuller Your house is getting to look like ready to move into. Is there going top be a porch across the front? Been a long time to get to this completion. Looks good.
Also the weather map shows you maybe getting some snow or rain.

Continue to work safe and maybe some pictures from a distance. Show how the house is fitting into the land scape.

There's a little bit of distance Ken.

We have most of the first floor wired. Takes a little time to carve a hole in the log, then drill at an angle to get the wire up from the cracks between the logs.

Looks like it was worth the problems to get to build. Now if you want a model can go to tinker toy Logs and build.
Understood you to have hauled in several loads of gravel so this picture is rear of house?
Was there much wastage of the logs or any left over. This type of building could almost figure to the log how many to order.

Insulating downstairs bedroom.

 

[BoFuller]

Trying to keep warm while working. It's blowing snow outside. Not too bad inside.

We started drywalling. Friday we had a partial electrical inspection so we could drywall one side. The plans had the basic minimum requirements, and Scott made numerous suggestions along the way, leading to many more outlets, switches, and fixtures. I figured the inspector would be happy, but he carried on and on about not following plans. I told him plans were just minimum guidelines to me, but he said nothing will be approved until I update the plans, showing every single thing I did that varies from the plans. So I'm sending dozens of pictures to the draftsman.

Bo, you have some unreal building inspections/permit folks. I thought my guy was a jerk, but who cares about having each outlet location on the plans? That's just silly and pointless.

All that beautiful wood interior and your putting up drywall? :confused3:

Way back at start of this saga. I mentioned to Bo that was asked to install a light in Seligman airport building so those entering the building would not walk into the prop of a airplane parked . The inspection was turned down because did not use a factory offset but bent conduit to handy box.
Not surprised that the inspector required this change after all may be the only job he was to do in past year. This is rural ranch country
