The Final Gable End of Our Log Home

The logs arrived and 10 days later Eric and I had the walls built.

We thought rather highly of ourselves.

We thought we were the best team to ever work side by side together.

We thought we’d be moved in to our new log home in just a few more weeks.

That was two months ago!

The framing and the roof structure has slowed us down to be sure, but today with Richard and Dagny by our sides, the final gable end was built and positioned.

I actually have a video of Eric and Richard placing this gable end on the log home sill, which will be available soon on YouTube. (I can’t upload it from here as I’m at the lake and on dial-up.) It is actually kinda cool to see it being built and lifted into place.

Not shown in this photo is the 20′ ridge beam holding this final piece of the puzzle roof in place. All that is left to do now, before sheeting and shingling, is to hang rafters from the center-front ridge to the side rafters.

The roof line is starting to make sense to all of us who just don’t see in three dimensions by looking at architectural plans of front, side and slices.
