PHASE FOUR Weeks 25 & 26 - Color Our House Honey

Weeks of November 19th & 24th - The weather is turning colder and rainy, which has delayed the exterior rail staining and landscaping, but the interior logs have been sanded and cleaned. Since the days seem to be growing shorter and colder rapidly, we are now using a powerful diesel heater supplied by our crew, and lights we purchased. Our crew wanted us to see if we could get more power into the house and we could for $500-$600 more, so we had to decline. The main issue is that everyone has to stop working a bit early and that power tools don't work as well. *****Norman and I spent the last two weekends cleaning the guest bedroom side of the house and caulking the entire house. For those of you who don't know, cracks in logs are normal, but I'm not too crazy about them and we filled in most of them, especially the bigger cracks. ***Our crew is staining the interior of the house this week and it looks great. We are applying one coat of stain and two coats of acrylic topcoat, so it should have a beautiful satin finish.. The ceilings and trim will be a natural pine color, a nice contrast, and will also have two coats.***Our landscaping rocks for under the prow deck have been delivered and should be laid out today. I was a bit disappointed in the color (a bit too reddish for my taste), but they will blend in alright.
