First View

They are working on the basement of the cabin.  Can't see too much yet but the views are great.  The reason it looks so shallow is that the house will be built up a few feet.  The basement walls are eight feet tall.  When they were digging the basement, they ran into a 8-12 ton rock.  Fortunately, the excavator was able to move it and lift it out.  Sometimes they have to dig a hole beside it and bury it.  FYI:  three inches of snow today in Whitefish which isn't that far away.  Yikes!

It's Happening

The cabin is started.  The basement was dug yesterday.  And today we got our first views of the cabin itself.  Do you think we are excited?  Can't wait to see it for ourselves in a few weeks.  These walls are not on our property yet.  The logs are put together, notched and numbered on the log guy's site.  (Not a bad view at his work site!)   Then the logs are reset on top of our basement walls.
