Got our Kitchen and Living Room Entertainment Center cabinets back from getting faced, stained and the doors put on and now their all installed too… and looking Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Here’s our cabinet guy Eric from “Vans Cabinets” in Lynden, WA. installing our finished cabinets. Thanks again Eric!!

Eric leveling up and installing our Kitchen Cabinets. I designed all the cabinets around what Corrina wanted in her kitchen and framed all the base and upper cabinet boxes using a shop grade birch plywood and Eric came and picked them up and stained, faced and did the doors and hardware for us using  knotty alder…. I’d say the stain Corrina picked out and the finish job eric did matches our interior log stain rather nicely.

Happy Day, helping Eric with the final installation of our Kitchen cabinets. Oh yeah, have I mentioned again how much I really hate the Hole Hawg!!… That dark red mark on my cheek, Yeah,.. again blood… Hole Hawg caught while drilling, spun around and caught me in the cheek and knocked me off the ladder… put a hole clean through my cheek!!

Moving right along on in the completion of our log home now despite a major set-back by our old “wanna-be” plumbers! It is a good thing having great friends and neighbors willing to lend a hand when needed!

My beautiful wife Corrina took all last week off to work on our log home. Here’s Corrina laying in the interior backer-rod in preparation for our interior chinking… coming soon! Not only beautiful but one of the hardest working women I know! Completing our log home would not be possible without her! Thank You Honey!

Larry came down from Canada (”Larry the Canadian”) to help out for a day… Thank You again Larry!! Here’s Larry with hammer and chisel notching in for our electrical boxes. Great having someone as detail oriented as I am working on our log home!

Here’s a Pic of some of Larry’s work… a 3 way Switch-Box notched into logs.

No that’s not snow on me… Have I mentioned how much I hate Hole Hawgs!!!… Here’s a pic Corrina took of me while drilling through our roof and all its insulation for our plumbing vent pipes. Ugggghhhh!!! I had bruises all over and busted up knuckles from working the Hole Hawg for all the plumbing drains and vent pipes! :-(   Oh, and my initials in the pic there over my head… yeah they were written in blood. Have literally left my mark in blood, sweat and tears into every part of our log home!
