T&G roof

Ok, it has been a long hard winter, we have had ups and downs along the way, we found a local saw mill that had T&G 2"x8"x16' we decided to go with a clear coat stain to keep the interior light, we will probably go with a little darker stain on the log walls, and an even little darker stain on the flooring...when that time comes.
stained Tounge and Groove in the drying phase.

I spent several weeks staining, luckily we have a 3 car garage that is heated, (best decision we ever made to have a heated garage!) it took all of the 2 bay side to lay out 22 boards on an improvised scaffolding and stain them, then let them dry for a day, the 3rd bay is where we stacked the unfinished boards (so they weren't out in the cold and so they would not warp), then we would lay the boards up on the roof as they were stained, needless to say this took a long time! We had some issues with the rafters not being set right, (long story) but we got them all up! and it looks great!

T&G half up, this if a view from inside the cabin

This view is from our current house, that is the corner of our fence.

We are so glad that we are building our first Log Home so close to our house and can go back and forth pretty easily!

we nailed foot holds up to help with the walking on the roof, they were just scrap T&G

Almost done!! (this view is from the back of the house)
