We have color! It was the week to get some stain on the logs and see if our efforts have paid off. Nate and crew were onsite to begin staining. See below for the original cabin ion 1920 and the freshly stained cabin in 2020 (still need to rebuild the stone wall in front and put on the final clear coat). We are getting there!

1920 and 2020

This week we will see completion of the staining, top coating, chinking, and some interior log work as well as hanging of some of the lights, install of the switches in the newer area and completing the build out of the old bathroom.

I pulled out the old kitchen island this week too, to prepare for floor refinishing and new island and cabinet installation.

No more island in the kitchen

We will also hopefully make some good progress on the plumbing this week as right now, there is no running water anywhere and the porta potty is not a great thing to use each and every day. 🙂
