Back to the log cabin

Okay, now the phase we have all been waiting for. John and team have began to put down the first course of logs. I have not been so involved with this part of the job as I am trying to figure out how to get electricty to the studio and this cabin. But rather than bore you with pictures of wires and junction boxes, I thought to show you the progress the team is making with the logs.

Here is a pic of the very first log going into place

nchoring the first log into place with 10inch lag bolts. Apprantly all the logs are going to be secured with those 10inch lag bolts.


More action on the site. They got alot done in the first day

Putting down the logs is plenty of fun but you do have to account for boring things like doors and windows. Check out the door opening and also the new addition to the crew, Gabe, a long time friend and missionary from Thailand. Not that he is Thai but rather that is where we knew each other as young teens serving the Lord in the faraway land of Thailand.

One nice feature of working with logs is the "R" factor or the thermal properities, or in layman terms it helps keep the place cool in summer and warm in winter.

The fourth layer staring to go down soon there will be openings for windows etc.

The work area looking like a old ship builders yard with all that heavy lumber. Stay tuned for more pictures and progress.


PS Please keep us in your prayers as Leila is getting very close to having the baby. So I might be a little busy on the domestic front for a little while. Many pictures of that coming your way but not on this blog.
