Putting Things in Perspective

So another Saturday, another 7 hours on the road. I can't wait till we can stay out here for a night instead of driving back and forth. That being said, we moved a step closer today with the successful lift of the wood stove into the cabin. This was necessary before putting rafters on the roof, as it's way easier to build the rafters around the chimney as opposed to stringing the chimney through an existing set of rafters.

The wood stove is pretty small, but weighs 400+ pounds.

And the front windows are cut. Now I realize that the previous pictures I took just didn't show a good perspective of the size of the place. It looks a bit more realistic in a photo now.

The main ridge beam went on this wee as well. This helps to give a better perspective of the actual height of the building.

I was a little worried before the front windows were cut. As can be seen in earlier pictures, it just looks like too much log. Now that these front windows are done the next step will be to cut the rake window slots out of the gables. I like the way it is starting to look. Clearly my fears were unfounded.

Tired now....got to get some sleep.

Cheers

Peter
