Tongue and Groove Ceiling

The ceiling material arrived and we began the installation of the cathedral ceiling.  I purchased it with the stain and finish for timing.  Since there was so much material it would have have taken forever to do this myself and the samples the manufacturer sent us was exactly the quality we wanted.

Exterior Siding Complete

The siding is finally complete.  Some areas have been left open to be filled with stone work which will begin in the spring.  The plan is to add a shet underneath the rear porch but I still haven't decided how it should be enclosed.  We have yet to add the stairs because the final grading has not been completed.

Drywall Complete

The drywall was finally completed.  I hired a professional for this.  I figured to have all of the hard work done and then have the finish not be perfect would be all for nothing.  The tongue and groove ceiling is next.  We are finalizing the color and the order will be placed soon.

             

Exterior Siding Started

We have slowed down a bit.  The cabin dry and hunting season came along.  So the update to the site have been slow.  The exterior siding is going up.  We chose a rustic vinyl split shake siding.  With the cabin not being occupied year round and not wanting to do yearly maintenance this seemed to be the most logical.  It should be finished by this weekend.

 

Interior Doors

The interior doors have been installed.  We decided on these pine tongue and groove to match what will be eventually be the same ceiling design.

Deck Railings

This past weekend Todd, JP and I built the railings for the deck.  We left open two sections, one in the front and one in the back for the stairs.  This coming weekend we hope to have the grade in the yard pitched differently.  Once this is complete we will know the exact height for each stair case.
