Progress in November

Well I posted a few pictures today. As you can see, all the windows are in now, and the half log siding has been started. I was so happy to see it all comming together. I'll add more pictures tomorrow to show how they've come along with the porch. Big smiles!

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.

Siding Options

Last night we talked about our options on either having Bob the builder do our siding or asking him to only do the ends of the house where there are such high peaks. We know relatively nothing about it , so , if anyone has any comments on how hard or easy it is to put on half log siding I'd appreciate it. My dad brought over two beds yesterday for me to take up to the house. My husband is totally unhappy about the prospect of hauling these beds about 800 miles. I'm doing my best to keep my chin up about it all. I will say there is a deffinate level of stress involved when you're building a house and it's starting to get to me. Hoping for a break soon.

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.
