We stopped by the house yesterday, and I’ll tell you what, I was absolutely floored. There was piles of wood everywhere!

Wood in the driveway…

Wood in front of the house…

And more wood on the porch…

On closer inspection, those piles of wood are 1×12 pine planks! In a matter of hours, Paul and his crew will turn those planks into floors for the entire house. 8 days ago, they were trees, and 6 days ago they were milled just 3 miles away.

Inside, the upstairs floors were almost done, and they were getting started on the living room.

The main upstairs bedroom has floors, and also has all of the walls closed in. The ceilings are the same as the downstairs bedroom and the walls are all 12″ log siding with the exception of two sections of board and batten that match what’s on the outside of the house and in the living room.

We decided to run the wood flooring through the entire house including the the kitchen and bathrooms.

The living room is completed enclosed now as well. Board and batten makes another appearance here around the upper window, the barn door bedroom, and the inside wall.

   

The new upper window adds a lot of light and also visually breaks up that wall. It’s good light for the living room and the barn door bedroom.

Next weekend, we’ll have pictures of the completed floor, door hardware, and the work-in-progress kitchen cabinets! There’s been a number of people through the house looking, so we’re hopeful that as it approaches completion someone will decide that it’s perfect for them!
