Fireplace Stonework Complete

The fireplace stonework was completed this week.

For me a cabin is not really complete without a fireplace, so this is a big milestone!

Fireplace Work Continues

The masons are working on their last project . . . the cabin fireplace stonework. We are hoping to have a little fireplace party when we arrive in Colorado next week.

Loft Floor Complete

The Loft floorboard installation is complete.

Chimney Capped

Here is a view of the chimney cap from the peak of the cabin roof. Looks like a stormy day in the background!

Interior Stonework

The interior stone "knee-wall" goes below the logs all around the interior of the cabin. It's the same stone and design as the exterior stonework.

Loft Floor

The loft floorboards are being installed this week. They are about 2 inches thick pine and look great from above and below, where they will be visible between the ceiling beams.

That's Brian installing the boards and Bell checking his work.

Chimney Stone and Wood Siding

The exterior chimney stonework in complete, and the wood siding is started and should be complete this week as well. This photo shows the east elevation of the cabin.

The exterior is almost done!
