Okay now comes the gabled ends of the building. Here they are going into place. John anchored the logs at the apex. It was about 18 ft off the ground and we did not have a ladder tall enough so he just shimmed up the log and anchored it down. Very brave man.
Here is a view from the inside of the building we were going to complete the gabled ends with Logs (Ie fill the holes in the triangle thingy) but we decided to go with siding instead as it was faster and so much simpler. And we could move on to the roof without completing the sides. We have Mat coming to help us put the roof on this week so we wanted to jump to that phase of the building. (remember Matthew from the blanco home who helped us move the studio?)
In preperation for the roof we have to have the porch posts in place. Here we have a pic of Dale craving out the porch beam to accept the posts. The beam and posts are 6 inches by 8 inches. it will have a robust look. At least it should.
framing out the inside of the building checkout how high the center wall is.
Pictures from the other side of the dividing wall
Here is a picture of the slots we had to cut above the door and windows to accept the top trim of the windows as the walls shrink and settle. Oh joy.
God bless John and the boys who did all that.
