Well, we have been busy! Between renting our mini excavator to dig out the foundation, getting 40 tons of gravel and fill sand delivered (and then wheelbarrowed and shoveled around to get our slab above grade), placing our plumbing and electrical in and waiting on inspections, and getting our rebar and forms up (which we are still finishing), we have gotten our first concrete pour done! We now have a slab foundation under the bathroom, masonry heater, center rpsl, and partial bedroom! Oh, and not to mention, our newest member of the Robnett clan is also here!! Anastasia ended up making her grand entrance into the log home building world just a few days before our first pour :-) Next (and final) pour is scheduled for Monday, and then we can continue pulling logs out and finish our catalog. We may or may not have to add a short slipform masonry wall around the house for the sill logs to sit on if we find out we don't have as many logs as we originally thought, but we will find out once the cataLOG is finally finished. That's all for now :-) more to come as we continue this journey!
P.S. Sorry some of the pictures loaded sideways....I'm not computer savvy enough to figure out how to fix it😬![]()
