It was another productive day on Maple Lodge. The guys finished the tin roofing and it looks great. We're leaving the underside open (so you can see the tin from underneath. This will make it feel more like you're standing in an old barn.)Our vision is to create a year around liveable cabin with as many natural and unique amenities as possible. Any ideas are always welcome!!!
The view to the left if actually the front entrance of the cabin. You'll notice the simple 4" x 4" posts that support the porch. These will be replaced, after we get through final inspection, with two character cedar posts. Character cedar posts have all sorts of interesting texture and branches. The cedar logs are not 'graded' for strength (but they are very strong), etc. so we'll add them after all of our inspections are complete.
We are planning rock steps from the parking area to the front door entrance. The front door will be crafted from native North Carolina woods like walnut, oak, poplar, etc. The front door is in the design stage at the moment and won't be completed until the workshop is finished (soon). I can't build if I don't have access to the tools. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
More coming,
