Framing

We hired Whitley Homes to do the exterior framing, they have log home experience and are framing the rear deck roof, all gables and dormers and the garage trusses, facia and roof deck.

I am doing the interior framing including the master suite, kitchen and utility wing as well as partition walls up on the loft level.

The master bath.  Note the pocket door frame. 
These walls (on the log level) must be made to allow the ceiling to drop up to 4 inches as the logs shrink and settle.
The settling jack atop the wood column had to be lowered (along with others) as the house has settled about an inch already.

Setting the roof trusses for the utility wing (3/12 pitch).

Framing rafters over the rear (North side) deck.


Gable end framing of the upstairs guest room. 
This space is intgeresting because of all the roof angles and heavy beams and columns.

Placing the garage trusses.  In one day they attached the trusses, installed sub-facia to the West side installed the floor decking in the storage attic of the garage and attached the roof decking on the West side.  They'll finish it tomorrow.

The front facade looks different with the garage tussed and sheathed.  Note the log headers above the garage doors.  From the headers down we'll use stone veneer.  Above the headers will be board and batton.
