Starting to frame in the dormers

Started framing in the dormers..... working hard to get the roof on.

Long way down....

Back at it!

Back at it again.... here I am sitting up on my ridge pole (about 40' above the ground!) pinning my rafters in place with rebar.

Man - it's good to be at the cabin again!

Done for the year....

Winter is here - supposed to get up to 6" of snow today - which means a foot up at the cabin. My Dad and I arranged the remaining 4x10's into a temporary roof - nailed down some plywood and put a tar paper on top of that.

It's been a great first phase and I look forward to getting back to it soon.

The garage - someday!

I have stacked the logs I will be using for the garage so they will dry. It's going to be a while before we get to the garage.....

A view from the top

The top floor of the cabin with traditional stick built - here is the view from our bedroom.

3rd Floor complete!

My lovely wife and I finished the decking on the 3rd floor and my Dad and I built the stairs.

3rd floor joists in place....

The joists for the 3rd floor are hung and in place. We are getting there - slowly but surely!

On to the 3rd floor

Once we finished the second floor we hung the joist hangers for the 3rd floor.

Stairs from 1st to 2nd floor
