This pic is a bit outdated since we've had two snowfalls since then and now have at least a foot and a half of snow at the house. But, we are finally pretty close (within a few weeks) to getting the certificate of occupancy, which was our goal before winter so we could take a break from working on the house. It has been a long, very hard year with Jeff working every weekend and as much as he could during the week along with a demanding full time job. This project has taken every spare ounce of our energy and money and has been pretty stressful. Although we didn't quite get done before the snow arrived, it looks like it will actually finally happen and I can't express how relieved we are. Here is the stairway going up and parking area.

Front deck.

Back deck.

Bathroom.

Doors.

Partial kitchen. Went with a solid granite sink, and temporary butcher block counters, we'll change to concrete and add some nice appliances when we have more time and money.
This is a great looking home. My name is Charles Atkins.
ReplyDeleteI am a log home builder out of North Georgia.Ran across your blog and took a look. Awesome!!
I am interested in hearing the experiences of people who have attebded Skip's classes. It looks as though it has worked out beautifully for you.
Have you had a good experience? Did you save as much as you thought ?
I did the log and beam work on a home that was to be a Jim Barna Model Home for a couple outside the little town of San Andreas back in 2002.
It was beautiful there.

I'm not rying to get into your personal business I have just always liked to hear the experiences of folks who have gone this route. It is intriging to me as a builder.
Have thought of doing it a couple times myself.
I would like to say that this blog really convinced me, you give me best information! Thanks, very good post.
