wtnhunt Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Have not posted any pics lately. Been pretty busy since getting our inspections passed to move forward. Got our loft beams stained and got the floor down last week. Heat was a bit of an issue working up there. Got to finish the pantry, not sure what I am going to do with the top of it yet. Cabinet man coming out next week to layout the floor and walls in the kitchen for me. Living room Master bedroom Hallway to the kids rooms Ceiling in most of the house will be clear coated the same as the kitchen ceiling, we have 2 coats on about 1/4 of those boards. Hoping the hvac people finish up this week and insulation people get out early next week, then will get a scaffold rented and start closing up the ceilings. Pic of the front.

Alisha Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Absolutely beautiful! :jaw: I've always loved log homes. Too bad they don't do well here or we would have had one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Wow, that looks great William! Thats going to be a beautiful place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Looks great William! I assume that is a finished ceiling above the pantry? I would just finish the boards on up to the floor above, notching them around the one floor joist. so your wood walls go on up and meet the bottom of the floor upstairs. Maybe leave a 1/4 inch gap though so you don't get any squeeks. Just an idea. Sure is a beautiful home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I don't know, it seems to be missing a little something. Have you considered incorporating a little wood into your architecture? That is a beautiful place.....truly amazing. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went well on my parts as far as plumbing and electrical, building inspector complemented the plumbing. Contractor had a few things to fix. Some of the plumbing was a bit tricky, thanks again Matt for answering questions on that stuff. Getting the tub vent and the overflow drain for the tub and shower tied together and to the main drain took a bit of time and scratching my head to get worked out. Tominator said: Man, kind of brings back nightmares though. Ummm, nightmares yeah really and lack of sleep and dead tired from trying to get this stuff done. Has not helped we ended up with a contractor who does not seem to want to finish anything and has left me doing quite a bit of work he was supposed to do. mike said: Looks great William! I assume that is a finished ceiling above the pantry? Yep. Those 2 inch loft floor boards are the ceiling for the kitchen and dining room. They are already finished with 2 coats of clear. The 2 center pantry boards on the front are not nailed down yet, not sure yet how I am going to trim the top of it, may go with a crown mold all the way around to match the cabinets. Interior finish to the walls will match the beams when we are done or at least be close to the same color, using the same stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I have had about as much staining as I can take for one day. Gonna have to post some pics of my redneck scaffold. Time to get supper ready now. You know you are welcome here anytime bud.

I gave myself an ulcer, and I didn't do anything except make sure the contractor did it the way we wanted it done. :camera: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 It sure is looking good William. The interior beams turned out great. That Centol sure is good stuff for doing log homes on the exterior too. Looking really good buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to thank Steve for his recommendation on the stains and for answering all my questions. Those beams took a good bit of time to sand, hopefully the walls clean up a little easier. Got to say thank you again to Anthony for all his help on the electrical too, finished up wiring the inside of my panel this afternoon.

Adjam5 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 William....ANYTHING I can do to help. It is looking just great! You guys will have a marvelous home to enjoy and grow into . Sweat equity to the 10th power there William. I see you are leaving lots of slack to work with at the elect boxes . It is easier to shape them that way. Looks like time for those devices huh? I have a box to pack;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
