We were at the mill today, cutting up a few more logs into window jamb extension material. We also cut two short 6x8 beams that will be the carrying beams above the stairwell. These beams will allow us to tear out the temporary walls currently enclosing the stairwell and create an open stairwell with a log support post.

All the material we cut at the mill is now stacked and stickered in the living room. Stephen took this as a new addition to his "indoor playground".

Tonight was more of the same, but cutting up the sill material. The sills will be made of two overlapping slabs. The lower boards (material pictured at left) are around 1-1/4" thick. The upper boards are about 3/4" thick.

Jeff has started working on installing the larger jamb extension material. This includes a header extension, two side jamb extensions, and the double slab sills. For each window, the header and sill will go on first, then the side pieces will be screwed in between.
