Drive By 7/12/2025

Drove by the property, no update from the builder.  Looks like they didn't do much this last week.  However there is two new piles of wood in the front.  Looks like the roofing joists and what looks like the flooring joists for the second story.

    This is really cool!!! Is that real loghouse style. You know, where they notch the logs to fit at the corners? What kind of fastening system do they use?

      Fastening is not done at the corners, but rather long threaded bolts screw each log to each other. Caulking and foam rubber are used to seal the joints in between the logs.
