Here are a few pictures. Ben came to visit and they all decided to shoot the gun. Ben came up with the Shrek look to protect his ears. It was a hoot.
The next picture is of the ceiling. It still needs more trim put up but the basic idea is there. The third picture is of the new wall. The wall continues all the way to the other side. This will make is so that the game room/ tv area is not part of the main opening. Todd may put a small office over there as well. The boards are pretty neat looking. Those boards colored by sitting in a compressed stack and allowed to get wet and dry several times. It goes along with the whole cabin feel. We have had several people come and want a tour of the house. Local are amazed and want to copy the idea.

There is now drywall on all the lower ceilings with recessed lighting. It is amazing how it brightened the place. Todd is working so hard. I still do clean up duty . You can't tell in this picture
Clancy is pretty good at providing us with fire wood. He gets about a half cord without any assistance from us. That means he has to chainsaw chop and load the wood up to the house. I am glad to have him. Collin is now the Trashman. This means he has to do the running. Trash has to be taken a half mile down the road. A big job in itself.

You guys have done incredible work! I LOVE how high the ceilings are.

When I think back to when I first knew you, a young pioneer, cute-preppy style, driving a little white VW Bug (with a hole in the floor - hee hee), I would have never ever never imagined you would be a build-your-own cabin in the woods kinda' girl! But, boy you are ~ which is cool! And look what a wonderful, fulfilling family life you & Todd have : )

Can't wait to see your next set of pictures & hear all your news!
