The family's lakehouse is continuing the take shape.

Shingles and house wrap are being applied. The fireplace chase is framed and will be covered with Baileys Harbor Stone, another standard item in the Golden Eagle Log Home's complete package system.

30-year warranty shingles are standard in the Golden Eagle Log Homes package. The family chose green.




You can't tell from the photo below, but once all of the house wrap is cut away, it will expose a high window wall facing the small lake.


The photo below is of the garage overhang. It is 8' deep to keep snow away from the garage doors and to add a classy touch. The gable roof diverts rain water where its less prone to freeze, though everything in Wisconsin if frozen now.



The dormer on this side is in the loft bedroom. The builder is readying the opening where the first floor master bedroom patio door will be. There will be a wood deck out there soon too.


This dormer allows ample light for the loft bathroom. Notice how tall the home is. The views will be incredible, but the taller the home  the more scaffolding is needed to build it.



It is very important for the homeowners and electrician to have a meeting before the electrician provides a bid. A standard electrical bid won't take into consideration where you want special outlets for christmas lights, extra floor outlets, maybe an outlet on the fireplace mantel, workbench in the garage. Etc. Other considerations are internet locations, lighting and ceiling fans. The family put a lot of consideration into their outlet and electrical needs including lighting for a future path to the dock and exterior lights to watch it snow and watch the wildlife.



Another popular electrical item is in home security systems and complete home sound systems. The family has decided to have home webcams on the outside so the homeowners can watch the home from any computer hooked up to the Internet.
