Part VIII: Second floor and framing

Our visit on 10/28/06 was met with wind and rain, but also a bigger house. Take a look:

The deck is coming along too. This will be the main entry into the house (the railing is not finished):

And this will be the most impressive view:

The second floor with be finished with siding that looks like "logs". This way, there will be less weight and less pressure on the logs of the first floor, which should reduce settling. Soon the logs will be cleaned (with bleach) and stained. The roof should be finished in another couple of weeks and provide easier working conditions. It already snowed up there this year!
