With the arrival of our youngest daughter 6 months ago, our current house became officially too small. So this is what's been taking all my spare time the last year or so...
PS... jury is still out on the orange paint (wife says 'burnt' orange :wink: ) but I think it will be ok when trime and such is up. Hopefully.

Exciting work going on up there in BC. :!: I like the burnt orange.
Congratulations on your new home!
 
Silver post some more pictures of your new house,I have always wanted to sell out head for British Columbia build me a good tight log cabin ,stock it with vittles and whiskey a pretty lady and just hole up for the winter................good luck
 
Absolutely stunning!!!! I've always dreamed of a log home. Like the paint job. Send more pics of the progress.
 
We got the logs out ourselves, peeled them, then I hired a guy for the log work that actually knows what he's doing. I told him what I wanted, then the two of us did it.
Since the logs have been up I've been on my own, learning as I go. Kids are excited because they finally get their own rooms.
 
Unbelievable! :!: That is some really great work. :D How long do you let the wood cure before you use it? Not being a craftsman myself, what kind of wood is it? Pine?

I have to laugh at Katrina! We built a new house two years ago and ALL my wife was worried about was.......the color of the walls, the style of toilets -fixtures etc, the lighting fixtures, kitchen appliances and floor coverings. That's it, nothing else concerned her.

You reminded me. :???:
 
"Duct tape gray is fine with me; I am tried of working on this house" Is all my wife heard me say I think, when we was getting our house together. :lol: :lol:
 
The logs look great. Burnt orange (Texas color) would NEVER fly here in Husker Nation. :lol:

My wife and I have been wanting a log home ever since we got married. Maybe someday..... Anyhow, I'm glad to see somebody has one. Sure looks comfy.

It is 1500 sq ft on the main, same for the basement. I think the loft is abt. 700 or so. Kids rooms upstairs, so when I get old I will have no reason to go up there, everything I need is on the main.
The logs have been out for a year and a half now.
PS, send some pics of your house, Ive never seen one of limestone and Im interested.
