This is where we've gotten on our log home...these photos were taken the last part of November. The support poles are standing vertically in the center - awaiting the 52 ft. ridge pole.
We used a friend's backhoe to dig out along one side of the basement that's been cracked. We're considering putting a root cellar on this side to be done in conjunction with repairing the wall.
Once our 4 to 5 ft. of snow melts, we'll put the crushed rock on the bottom of the ditch. We've also got the portable sawmill going, so hopefully we can move forward with milling out the roof rafters by Spring.
The walls are essentially done...all except the cap logs which will even everything up before the roof goes on. The photo below is taken from the top of our friend's barn at Wheyside Farm while Andrew was repairing a section of roof for Frank. This looks south toward our little town of Plymouth with Hwy 7 or the old Moosehead Trail, across Plymouth Pond, and our land fronts almost the entire side of the southwestern part of the pond. Dixmont Mountain is the tall one on the left.
