View of the back of the Lakehouse

Let it snow , let it snow , let it snow

Just adding a few more pictures from my " ice road truckers " trip with my cousin ray :)

First time seeing the Lakehouse finished

I went up to see our lakehouse last week. My cousin went with me and we had a heck of a trip up there through rain and snow. I thought the place looked absolutely beautiful. The log finish was just the touch it needed to really look right. We took up some beds and other things but the snow was so deep on the road to the house that we had to store the beds in my parents cabin for now. Anyhow here's a picture or 2 to show you all how it turned out :)

Fantastic News !

Got a letter today telling me that they're finished putting on the siding and the house is as finished as it's going to get by the builders. YAY!!!!! Can't wait' till we can get up and see it. As soon as we do , I'll get pictures posted.

I want to go back !

I just took a look at the weather up in Minnesota. It's in the 20s . Brrrrrrr. Even knowing how cold it is, I still miss it and wish I could get back up there. Guessing it'll be next year before I can again. Hoping to hear soon from Bob the Builder and get an update on the place. I'll post any info as soon as I get any .

Siding started , Windows in

Well I'm home. The trip was fantastic. I was happily surprised to see that the windows I'd ordered were already in. Also they got started on the half log siding. It looks so pretty. I'll be posting pictures on here tomorrow or the next day. Got to see some snow. It was so cold the first night. Stayed in my parents cabin and brrrrrrrrrrr! It was fun though. I'd go back tomorrow if I could.

Half Log Siding

I was talking with a friend today that mentioned she'd heard of some problems people have with half log siding. Now, this is what we'd planned all along to use. So, if anyone knows any more about it I'd sure like to hear . I love the look of the half logs. It makes the house look like a log house without all the problems of logs. ( or at least that's what I thought ) Anyhow , it's just something I'm thinking about now. Bob the builder doesn't plan to add the siding till spring , so I'd like to learn anything I can about it asap. Still excited about the trip. Won't be long now . Already getting out some warm things to take.
