		<title>Home Carpentry Terminology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the continuation of yesterday&#8217;s post on carpentry terminology I&#8217;ve learned as a result of working on the log home build or will certainly need to know in the coming months as we work to complete our home.
Dormer window: The window that goes into the dormer. Duh.
Dovetail nailing: Nails that get driven through one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Building Is In The Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring is coming and that can only mean that after a very long wait we will soon be back to building our home. It has been two years since the fire and our family isn&#8217;t back to normal yet. We were under-insured and without a fire department in our municipality we lost everything and didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long Weekend Builder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday I stayed home to write but Eric and Veronica went into Boulter to get some work done on the house.
Eric managed to frame the bathroom walls, closet walls and hallway walls right up until the nail gun bounced and sent one flying through his finger, out the other side and into the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>The No Budget Log Home Kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I hid out in the house &#8211; doing research for my upcoming book alternating with sweeping up sawdust &#8211; and had time to layout the kitchen between tasks.
No doubt Eric would have preferred I helped him outdoors &#8211; even just to hold the 40&#8242; ladder or pass TyVek up to him through some secondary [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hydro Hookup Fiasco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since we have less than two weeks to move in, we&#8217;re going strong now trying to get a few items in order with the log home build. The most immediate concern is hydro.
Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love camping and I don&#8217;t mind roughing it (some) but I don&#8217;t like living in a home, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Log Home Like The Eaton Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m old enough to remember Toronto&#8217;s Eaton Center being constructed. In fact, back then we used to roller skate all weekend long, in marathons every long summer weekend, for Muscular Distrophy and camp on the sidewalks adjacent to the lot where the Eaton Center would one day be. (That&#8217;s going back a few years!)
Yesterday brought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking On Some Color &#8211; WhiteWash Logs and Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The logs of our home are being stained, thanks to my shoulders, elbows and wrists co-operating.
Although the house still doesn&#8217;t look like much in the photo, we have come a long way very quickly this week.
The windows are in on the main floor, front and back doors have been installed, and most of the white [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doors Make the Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not suggesting that the doors we just installed on our log home are anything special, expensive, or eye candy. However I will say that when you&#8217;re building a home on your own and you finally get to the point that you&#8217;re installing a front door something happens on a psychological level &#8211; your house [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Have You Been?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a lot of people write in lately, asking how our progress was moving along on our log home.
If you are new here: We had a house fire, were under-insured, decided to build our own home on a strict budget. We opted for log and 10 days after the logs arrived my husband (Eric [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Inspector Run Around &#8211; Septic Systems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had two issues on the table building our log home this past week. The first is getting our septic installed. The second is getting sign off from the township so that we can backfill.
We really hoped to accomplish both these items in one day &#8211; paying to bring in the heavy equipment only once [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sanding Log Home Ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ends of each log in our log home are rough, showing multiple cuts, and dirty.
Many of them have numbers on the end (originally stating the length of each log).
And they are all at least 10 feet from ground level.
Even though I have grown less frightened of heights during this build, the thought of standing [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Friends on The Roof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It was a beautiful moment when I arrived on site on Wednesday morning and discovered two great friends, George Tenthory and Scott Kyle, working away on our roof. We had no idea they were coming and they worked hard and steady nearly finishing the entire side &#8211; both sheeting and shingling.
I don&#8217;t know what we [...]]]></description>
