We're Back In Business!!!

Welcome back! So my dad is getting better and the work continues! Basement doors are in along with the fireplace! So quick story about why the fireplace looks so unconventional. It is more of a wood burning fireplace to heat the main room. It has a built in fan that pulls in outside air, heats it and then blows it into the room, minus the smoke. Sooner or later there will be a beautiful mantle above it and a much nicer outside of it, even though the stainless steel look is the way to go these days (haha) anyway, enjoy the pictures below! Hopefully more updates soon!

We've Hit a Snag! But Still Moving!

Hey everyone! Welcome back!

So first off, as of friday we're at a stand still with the cabin because my dad went to the hospital for his leg swelling up again, long story short he was bit by something about a month ago and then the bite got infected so he needed to get some real antibiotics via IV. From the sounds of it he'll be as good as new by next week and hopefully will be out tomorrow. So shoot some good thoughts to the U.P. for him! And thank you in advance! My mom's on her way back up to help out and soon the house will be back in full throttle to get the siding on before the weather changes!

Although I still have new pictures! Below we have the celling/roof over the deck.

So Much Progress!

Hey everyone! Welcome back and sorry about the lack of posts! So many things have been getting done and the house is looking great! Is so cool to se things getting done INSIDE! So theres pictures below with captions!

Shingles, Siding and Plumbing!

Hey everyone! Its been a rough couple of weeks up at the cabin. All of our help has moved on to other projects and its getting tougher. To make a long story short a couple of the roofing guys stopped working for the company so that was put on hold till two days ago. Only two guys were left and they started on the roof friday and got a lot done but it is still not done. But let me say, the roof and shingle color is perfect and its really looking more and more finished every day. Now one picture below shows the siding that was put on the side of the garage. This siding is not the siding that will be on the front and back of the house. But it is still wood. The main siding will actually be log siding, giving it the look of a log cabin on the outside and a normal house on the inside. Overall, for doing it completely by himself now, my dad is doing a fantastic job. Another picture below is of the kitchen floor where there will be cabinets and a island. Soon the plumber will start running the pipes to all of the various faucets and places where appliances will go. Many posts still to come in the near future and hopefully a finished roof! Thanks again for following along!!!!

Front Porch! It's coming along!

Welcome back! I feel like it has been a while since I posted on here. My dad got a really bad spider bite a couple weeks ago but he kept working hard and getting things done! As of today we have the roof over the front and back porch which looks amazing! Coming up we'll be getting fake doors in all the doorways and the basement windows in so no critters get in the house. Enjoy the pictures below!

One More Post For The Week!

Just a couple more pictures for you this week. Some cool views from the top and up to the loft!
