It's beginning to look a lot like...a cabin!!!!

Hey all! Sorry, its been awhile since I posted.
Rodger has been busy with not only the cabin, but flying back and forth to Vegas for his new job in the Mojave Valley.
However, the work continues to progress on the cabin.
Here are some of the newest pics!!! Fresh off the press!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the "prow" of the house.
The picture is taken from the loft of the top floor.
This will all be windows.
You can see the deck of the main floor below

This is the main level. The picture was taken from what will be
the second driveway heading up the hill to the main floor.
You can see the first floor/garage below.


A full view of the side.

This is a view coming up the driveway!!
It is really starting to take on the appearance of a house!!!

Side of the cabin


The logs are nearly up on the main floor...the ground floor cannot be seen from here as it is on a lower level with a separate entrance from lower down the mountain.

Foundation has been poured!!!

Newly gravelled road. Concrete truck heading up...very worried it wouldn't make it!!


Setting up the forms to pour footers


Footers are done!



Ok...first floor...foundation and walls! This happened first of October!
