3-30-10 The pic on the left shows the small bathroom window Jeff installed in the rough opening cut a few days ago. After moving the scaffolding around to the back wall, we worked on the other 2nd floor bathroom window. |
|
 |
4-1-10 Tonight, Jeff cut the pins flush in the header log and cut the sill into the bottom log. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
4-2-10 Jeff installed the casing boards in the 2nd upstairs bathroom window, mounted the window, and moved on to cutting the rough opening for the master bedroom twin window. |
|
 |
4-3-10 Aaron was back for the day today, helping Jillena clean logs and Jeff level off the sill cut in the upstairs twin opening. |
|
 |
4-7-10 Jeff went out tonight to cut the next (and last) twin opening on the east wall. |

 |
4-8-10 It took all evening to get the header log leveled and the pins cut off flush. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
4-11-10 On this Sunday, Jillena and Jeff got the final window on the east wall set and insulated. |
|
 |
4-13-10 Jeff headed out after work to cut the next window opening - a single upstairs on the front wall. The house will start to look very different from the road. |
|
 |
4-14-10 The front looks rather strange with the only window opening being upstairs and what looks like a very small, unfinished window below. |
|
 |
4-15-10 Jeff installed the window in the casing from yesterday. That's one more down! |
|
 |
4-24-10 Our friends, Dave and Diane, came out today to offer their help. They worked on defuzzing more of the interior while Jillena was up on the scaffolding polyurethaning the ceiling and Jeff was working on another window opening. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
4-26-10 Just an evening of staining today. These are the last two twin double-hungs that need to be installed. It will be a couple of weeks before they're dry enough to handle. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
5-1-10 NOTE: The window Jeff started on 4/24 is in! Now to move around the corner for the next one. Dave, Diane, and Aaron came out to help today. Along with Jillena, they worked on defuzzing while Jeff carved out the next window opening. |
|
 |
5-2-10 Jillena's making great progress on the ceiling while Jeff continues on the windows. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
5-3-10 The big accomplishment of the night was installing the window in the opening Jeff's been working on. Jillena came out as well, with the goal of getting the ceiling finished by week's end. |
|
 |
Jeff and Jillena went out tonight to insulate yesterday's window and work a little more on the ceiling and upper log staining. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
5-7-10 Today was all about working on the next window. This one is in the living room next to the future front door. Jeff got the rough opening cut, along with the header and sill logs cut out. |
|
 |
Dave and Diane were back again today, cleaning and defuzzing while Jillena worked away on the RPSL's and ceiling and Jeff continued with window installation. |
|
 |
Today was another milestone. The ceiling is finally done! Jillena finished applying the polyurethane and we can now disconnect the scaffold towers. Jeff opened up another hole in the wall for the next window. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
5-12-10 Jeff went out tonight and got the casing boards installed for the 2nd floor window he's been working on. no additional window pics for today |
|
 |
5-14-10 Jeff got a lot done today by himself. He set a record on the window installation project, finishing up the twin from 2 days ago, including insulating it, and getting another window completely installed and insulated. It's almost a shame there are only 2 left! |
|
 |
5-15-10 We had quite a crew today. Our friends Lee, Sandy and Allison, and Dave and Diane were all out to help with various projects. Lee and Sandy came up for a week with their camper. Lee installed some of the radiant tubing insulation, while Sandy, Dave, Diane and Jillena focused their efforts on defuzzing. Jeff got right to cutting the rough opening for the second-to-last window. |
|
 |
5-16-10 On this Sunday afternoon, Jeff finished the last single double-hung window. We only have one left, and that will be on the front wall. Lee put up more insulation under the 1st floor also. |
|
 |
Today began work on the last window. It seems like an eternity that we were putting in the first one in the basement wall. That was 22 windows ago! This last window is a twin that will provide more light to the future open area over the living room. Bob also came out to begin work on framing in our root cellar. |
|
 |
5-22-10 Another milestone was reached in a project covering many months. The last window was installed today! That's 23 windows total. We will not be at a loss for natural light in any part of the house. Dave was also back today cleaning more logs. At the end of the day, Jeff started on a new project: finishing the interior gable walls. |
