Jeff picked up the custom-made hook for our side door latch and was able to finish the latch assembly tonight. Thanks to our friend, Rusty, for that nice metalwork!

A piece of pressure-treated lumber completes the threshold for the side door. The only thing left is to attach the exterior trim around the frame. Earlier, Jeff took the first 6 iron brackets for our 2nd floor beams over to Rusty's to drill bolt holes in them. Jeff also cut notches in the log walls for the outlet boxes. Jillena was busy working on insulation and lath on the south wall.

The plastic has been removed and the final trim pieces nailed on (yesterday). The side door is now finished. This brings an end to the long "Exterior Door Installation" project! Yesterday, Jillena did a little more work on the insulation and lath.

Jeff and Stephen stained the exterior casing and trim of the doors today, which will hopefully deter the threatening carpenter bees.
