June 2010: The roof is completed, door and windows installed
In early
June, just before the beginning of the guest season, George comes
for another 10 days and together we work at the cabin. First, the roof
is completed: rafters, insulation, sheeting and shingles. Appropriate
roof ventilation and sealing of the chimney need particular care. The
unpredictable weather is not very beneficial. After the gable frame
is panelled, the door and window openings are cut and
adjusted to the frames. Due to the ongoing shrinking/drying of the
logs, a settling allowance of about 4 inches has to be considered above
every opening. The windows, which were pre-assembled by George during
winter, can now be quickly installed. With that, the structural work is
completed and the only things missing are the interior fittings!
