End in sight
Posted by dirttodone
The end of the construction process is now in sight for the family. Below are the latest pictures...
Here is a photo of the fireplace stone for the chimney being installed. The stone looks real but is manufactured.
It is beginning to look like a Golden Eagle Log Home. Notice the loft window trim detail. The Coffen contracting team has a lot of experience building split log and full log homes.
After some heavy snow & ice storms this last winter, the family has decided to go with a backup generator in case the power is off for any long periods.
In the event of a utility power outage, the transfer switch--working in tandem with the generator--automatically starts the generator to restore power to the home within 10 seconds.
On taller log homes, like this one, it takes a lot of scaffolding to reach the high spots.
Now that the insulation is done, the drywallers are working on the inside. The Coffen Construction crew takes advantage of some nice weather and is applying the 10" peeled split logs.
