A lot going on this week at the cabin.  First, we got our hands on the Duragroove T&G pine paneling which was already put up on the majority of the ceilings.  Not a small thing to unload two skids that were about 16 feet long. 

Unloading the Duragroove…

It looks great and cannot wait to see it on the the walls too.

We also got our color-matched gable vents as well and those were installed and trimmed in the wood sided area and installed in the old full log area to be trimmed out this week.

The new color-matched gable end vent all trimmed out.

Thanks to the great folks at the Paint Bucket in Eagle River, we began testing some exterior stain colors with different tints and formulations.  Not easy when you are trying to match up 100 year old pine logs with fresh white cedar siding.  We will get there now that we have a color locked in.  More to come on that in the future.

The new entryway is almost complete as well with the log columns and cross beam going in.

New entryway taking shape!

This week sees the last vents go in, the other vents get trimmed out and a new exterior door go in as well.

We also got much of the electrical roughed into the new area and will be getting lights and switches in soon!
