Day 10: HOUSE SHELL FINISHED (doors etc.)



The SATTERWHITE LOG HOME crew left at noon today... it took the guys precisely nine and 1/2 days to finish the exterior of our new log home!!! We couldn't be more excited.... and we highly recommend this builder to anyone considering a log home.

Day 9: CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (windows)

The crew added the log corners and windows to the dormers on Day 9. The square posts are being changed out for thick rounds on Day 10. Satterwhite says they will be done "the shell" any day now! Amazing... if we hadn't seen it going up with our own eyes, we would never have believed it could be built so fast after 2 yrs of planning.

Day 6: CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (roof)


The kiddos and their friends get the grand tour upstairs... (while Snoozy watches from below and wonders what all the excitement is about.)









Day 5: CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (2 stories tall)



Amy poses in the enclosed "breezeway" to show us all how big the hallway is.

Heartbreaking... but, yes... the existing "old" cabin and the brand new one had to get notched out for the hallway (library passageway).

Day 2: CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS (8 feet tall)








We are attaching the mother-in-law cabin to the main house with an enclosed breezeway (hallway). The porches and stain will match. All doors will be Texas Stars. The crew from Satterwhite Log Homes thinks the build of the shell will be done in 12 days (weather permitting). Zowie!
