Exactly one week ago today

It was a week ago today that I was loading up my vehicle with tools for the trip.  Hard to believe.  Out of all the materials ordered and delivered the only thing that was missed was we were short one piece of siding.  Not bad.  I spent all day Saturday cleaning up and it was so much fun!  The days during construction were VERY busy and hectic.  A day with no one around where I could sweep and not have to worry about it getting all messy again a day later was nice.  It also gave me some time to start thinking about materials and next steps for the inside work.

Got home at 10:00 p.m. last night.  Time for a little break so there won't be any daily blog updates for a while.  Final interior pictures below.

Rack with scraps to be used for campfires!

Extra pieces of siding, shingles, and trim in case repairs needed.

    Wow ... it looks great!

    Hats off to your framing crew ... of course without good planning and logistics it never works out as nice as this did.

    Really like the angled walls at the fireplace. It is a very nice touch that eliminates that box look ... :-)

    Absolutely beautiful job! I can't believe your accuracy in ordering materials...oh, wait...yes I can, my brilliant brother!

    I really love the view from the loft rail.
