Today I wrapped up the work for 2013. I framed out the three windows installed in the loft, and trimmed out the end gable completely on the front of the garage. Next year I will install the last window on the rear end gable, trim out the rear end gable, and install siding on the front and the rear. Other than trimming out the windows in the log walls, the exterior of the garage will be 100% complete at that point. In 2014, I will have a cement apron poured in the front of the garage, and a walk path poured from the service door to the apron. I would also like to get the stairs to the garage loft installed next year. This winter I need to learn how to do stairs as I have to install them in the house as well.
When the inside of the house is completed. I would like to install stone facing on the cement stub walls around the base of the garage, as well as around the base of the house.
This has been a challenging year. The push to get the garage completed was very strong; I worked many nights up to and past sundown. I won't be thinking about building in Montana for a while, but when I get back to New Hampshire, I will have to start laying out plans for what I want to accomplish in 2014.
Have a great fall and winter. See you in the spring!
