Here are the latest pictures of the construction. The entire structure is now taking shape.


The family was reassured by Golden Eagle that they design all of their homes to meet or beat local codes for wind and snow loads. This is especially important because of the recent weather in Wisconsin.



The house has 2"x12" rafters. The garage has regular roof trusses.






Note the large LVL main ridge beam. It is supported in four places, the front/back walls and two log posts in the loft. The front and back posts are built into the wall.



The worker's ladder is leaning on the loft floor. The loft floor is 24" thick and clear spans 28' wide. Wiring, plumbing, lightin and speakers can all be hidden in it.



Roof rafters with overhangs. Remember this house is a Golden Eagle log home with 10" split log, meaning its half log siding will be put on later.



This will be the loft bathroom.



This is the view of the house from the lake. The black silt fence along the lake is new code to keep sand from eroding into the lake.



This is the view standing in the middle of the loft facing the loft bedroom and bath. The hole in the floor is where the log stairway will be.



This is the loft view of the big lake.
