Again it seems like we didn't accomplish much this week. You decide.
Frank finished installing the drip edge around the edges of the roof, and installed the hurricane ties in the car port. This is where he found his little yellow level, which has been lost since Operation Roof! I "grubbed" and raked together roots, branches, or other wooden tree parts, and hauled them off to the slash pile.
Frank made a large planter box for Tonya, and designed "corner covers." We chose to have corner posts instead of having the logs overlap on the outside of the house. The outside of these posts look like an upright log, but the inside looks like a rough-cut "v"--not too attractive. Frank made "covers" with a "v" on the backside to fit into the corner, and a flat surface on the face. These I sanded so that they are ready to install.
Frank started working on the electric. He installed a breaker box in the mechanical room, made a hole in the meter box and wall. He pulled the main cable into the house and on into the mechanical room and breaker box.
We moved all our belongings away from the all the walls, and recovered them with plastic in an attempt to keep them clean. Frank then framed around the stairs.
Meanwhile Vangie started sanding the logs on the inside of the house. They have discolored from exposure to the elements and dirt, and have become "dinged." I am sanding them to restore the original color and smoothness. I have completed the master bedroom and the pantry/laundry room.
We went to Morgantown today for electrical supplies--all sorts of boxes, cable, smoke detectors, and lights--also a few new tools for this project. We also ordered breakers for the various lines and stain for the inside walls.
Looks like you're doing fine. I take it no utility trench yet?
