Over the summer mold builds up on the logs so pressure washing prior to sealing the logs is very important.

Bonnie gets a kick outta pressure washing.

Trust me…there is a humongous amount of log surface to clean.  It took most of three days with TWO machines to clean the entire cabin.

Here you can see that we added four rows of logs above the loft floor.  That will give us much more head room.

It’s great to see the change in the log appearance after a good pressure washing.

Tyler helped a lot by dragging all the leftover logs over to the new woodshed he built.

We started with three logging trucks full of Douglas Fir logs…over 120 of them.  After all the trimming and cutting we had lots of short logs scattered over the property.  I would have moved them with my jeep but Tyler chose to get a heavier workout and drag them by hand.

Tyler begins the framework of the new woodshed.

A nice start to great pile of campfire wood.

Where is the roof Ty?

Oh, there it is.  You can see both the garage and the cabin in this photo.  On the far right you can see the fireman’s pole we installed on my grandkids fort.  Gotta have a fireman’s pole.
