Small details

Saturday, January 22 Hans and I visited our log home to see what changes had been made since we visited on Monday, January 17.   The things we noticed were small and not something that everyone would really notice.  However, each small step gets us closer to finishing.

Our gas lines have all been installed and passed inspection.  When our gas appliances arrive and they are ready for installation they can be hooked up and will be ready for use!  AmeriGas came and filled our propane tank with 150 gallons to get all the lines charged and tested.  We have a 1000 gallon underground tank, so they filled enough to test all the lines and give us a starting supply.  We will fill more when we move in.

We also noticed that the electrical sockets are starting to be drilled out in the logs.  When we walked in it looked like we had very large mice moving in!  Piles of squirrely sawdust all over the floors!

I have also asked for one change to be made.  The chimney has been covered with log siding and I would like to see that changed to river rock.  Steve and Dennis have both agreed to do this change for me.  I will be happier with it!

Again, no huge changes, but small details that we noticed on our weekly visit.  I have included some updated photos for you all to share.  Thanks to so many of you for sharing our dreams.  Whenever I travel I am thrilled at those I meet that are following our progress and our dreams!

Here's the current photos:

We've selected our carpeting and here are the samples up
against the logs
Furnace ducts running along the ceiling of the basement
Chimney with log siding.  They will change this to river rock
Drilling electrical outlets into the logs.  See the "squirrely sawdust"?
This outlet goes all the way through the log.  This will be
an inside outlet and outside outlet
Sign on our new windows.  Love the message!
