Tuesday-Day 2

Since we got the exterior wall logs completely up on day 1, we were able to move inside for day 2. Full logs sit on top of a ridge beam that runs almost the full length of the house. These logs are the ceiling for my two downstairs bedrooms, the bathroom, laundry room and kitchen. Above those logs goes tounge and groove pine. No drywall ceilings here...just wood!

Here are Tim, Gus and Frank working on setting the shorter glue-lam beam. This is looking from my kitchen toward my living room.

This picture is looking from the living room to the two downstairs bedrooms. Aaron is standing about where my staircase will be.
This picture is looking from the living room into the kitchen. To the right of the kitchen is the laundry room, then the bathroom and finally in the back corner is one bedroom.

Here Dana, Dennis, Aaron, Gus and Tim are racing to get the tounge and groove nailed down above those logs.

Here you can see the top of the tounge and groove which will be the base for my second story floor.

Yes, I work a little bit too! :)

Using the crane to set the main ridge beam in the house.

Setting the logs that create our "trusses".

These are the logs that make up our roof system.
