Lots of Progress

There have been lots of things happening all at once. It's a good thing because is has gotten REALLY cold up here!
The fireplace insert has been installed. Now the blower just needs to be hooked up. After the inspection we will be able to build a fire to keep warm.

The roofer has begun to install the metal roofing. It's hard to tell from this picture but it is a dark green color. The middle roof and both side of the back are finished. Then is snowed. Maybe this weekend when it warms back up he can get it finished.

Best news of all - the doors have arrived and are being installed. Justin, Cameron and Randy are fitting in the front door. Josh cut out the logs above the door so it would fit.

And here is the front door! I'm working on picking a color to stain it.
The Laundry room door is also in.
It was so nice to work without the wind blowing through the cabin.
Now just the dining room door to go and we'll be weather tight!

More Windows

After waiting for the second order of windows, and worrying that the cold weather was coming, we finally have all but one window in place.

We still had some challenges with the windows - they made some of them backwards, but we made it work and now we have just one window left to put in. We had to re-order one for the dining room because the one we picked up at the seconds place was warped and the window would not slide open.

Now we just have to pass the four way inspection so we can put in the doors. It is really nice to be able to work inside the cabin and be able to stand in some places and not feel the cold wind blowing!
