Log House Progress

 
Our log home is making progress! Over the last few months we've had family and friends generously give of their time to help us get the house more winterized and finished. Hopefully you will notice lots of changes from the last pictures I posted back in the summer!
 
One of the biggest outside changes are the attic ends being sided in and the windows put it.
Aren't they cute!!?

 
The upstairs outside chinking between the logs has all been completed as well. Big step forward!
 

The chinking is dark in the pictures because it's still drying, when dry it is light grey like in the first floor.
 
Front view. It's a messy construction zone, but we are moving forward! :)
 
Three views of the inside of the 2nd story. One big room right now, eventually it will be divided into three rooms: The west side will be the master bedroom, the east side will be divided into two
 
 
 
 
Insulation is stuffed between the layers of chinking and wire. As of now we are getting very close to getting all the inside chinking finished as well! More pictures soon! So excited to get moved upstairs and start fixing it up. :)

  4. Hi Atlanta!

    Your darling log cabin really is coming along quite beautifully! I have always dreamed of living in a log cabin, so it is awesome to see another young woman around my age be able to have her dream come true!

    Also, I have been following your fabulous blog for quite Some time now. Forgive me for not commenting before! But now that I am, I want to tell you how in encouraging it has been to follow your and your husband's lovestormy over the past year, watch you get married (squeal!), and now you have a little one on the way as well as a cozy cabin to fill your dreams with!! Huzzah for you, and may God continue to bless you as you follow Him!

    Thank you, Atlanta, for blessing my life through this delightful blog of yours!
