Lakefront Log Cabins is undertaking a new project.
In order to better serve our customers, we are building our own home cabin kit and documenting each step of the way.
Check back each week to see what comes next!
Phase Thirteen: (Click on an image to see a larger version of it.)
The red cedar spring house
Inside the spring house
The spring puts out about 500 gallons of water a day - plenty to supply the house and barn! The water is pure, we had it tested.
The plate glass windows for the back and front of the house
The amish rigged a pulley to lift and place the HEAVY double pane, tempered glass.
Downstairs guest bedroom: entry door on left, closet doors in the middle and door to bathroom on right
Calvin and I helped lift the glass - yes, it took all three of us to lift it!
VERY HEAVY!
The steps will go in the railing space SOON.
Concrete sidewalk and propane tank pad.
Porches and windows. Still missing 2 windows in the back here and 2 windows in the front.
The dog door - doesn’t everybody have one?
This is my kitchen/dining room space still needing cabinets. The fireplace will be ‘see-thru’ - the mantle is a hand-axed timber from an old house on our property that was built in the 1800’s. It’s oak and it’s heavy.
Beautiful fall colors
The front door
The office area with a corner fireplace
Cedar-front kitchen cabinets in the office area upstairs
The office view
The glass walkover - someone dropped a hammer on it already, nothing happened but we all cringed.
The glass shelf in the front
The master bathroom, whirlpool tub framing and toilet wall on right
Beautiful wood work in cedar to cover electric lines
