Some timbers are missing for the "tunnel". This is the opening between the loft and the space above the garage. The contractor will pick up the missing material Tuesday. 1/6/09. Because the log siding is 1.5" thick the gable walls are offset from the logs to allow the siding to match the outside log surface. This will leave a 2" offset inside between the drywall and the inside of the log surface. The contractor recommends bolting a timber to the inside at the loft level and framing outward with 2X material.
The landing for the loft is in place.
The trusses are in place and the gable stud walls are done. There are several timbers above the trusses that fill the gap between the perlins (beams that go from front to back). After that the inner surface of the cathederal ceiling will go on the perlins. Then foam insulation. Then roof sheathing and shingles.
