I needed more circulation in my house, only opening was a door between LR an DR so I came up with this project....This wall is solid 8 inch logs, cut them on each side with a circular saw giving me 2 1/2 to 3 inch scour on each side, finished with saws all. Then framed in with a 2x6 rough cut and predrilled and used 3/8 lags to hold everything in place plus angle iron in all corners. Built counter top for tile counter. Still have staining to do an haven’t set the tile or grouted yet, can only do so much staining in a air tight house, thankfully its warm enough to keep a couple windows cracked…Pics of Before an after from LR side.

 

couple pics from the DR side

 

Looks nice Paul!

Big spider there, What do you feed it?

 

LOL sent same pics to mom and a friend....they both asked the same question plus where he went. guess he feeds on Ak skeeters an ran off from the bangin or cussin.
I have been known to colect crab spiders and put them on plants in the greenhouse, luv watchin them hunt/feed.

 

VERY nice Paul!

You have the home of my dreams... wrong location, but still my dream home!

chaikwa.

 

Kinda funny how in your second post you perfectly framed the mountains in the background and then all of the sudden there is a living room behind it. Decided to go ahead and build an addition while you were at it huh??

Man you Alaskans are adventurous!!!

Looks good, Nice Job!!!

 

Thanks....I kinda like it....location is perfect...You would luv it.

LOL Had that pix there to help make room look bigger...Glad it helped....nice pic, matter of fact they all are, my mother is a acclaimed artist from Idaho and all my pics are originals.

 

Send me your address, might have something for that trophy wall.

 

Now that you have the mill and lumber prices are dropping. Aughta order some pine logs and we can throw up a man-cave out back there.

 

Looks real good . I like the book shelf in underneath.

 

By 'location', I meant it's too cold. I prefer the majority of my temperatures to stay ABOVE 0!

chaikwa.
