Log Railing

I picked up the Amishman and his sons that are doing the log railing at 6AM yesterday morning and brought them to the house. This is a different group than the ones who built the house. They were able to install the straight portions of the railing and took some final measurements for the 37 degree down angle pieces needed to make the railing on the side of the stairs.

We finally got some rain! It hasn't rained in weeks and I am sure it has been more than a month since we even had a light rain. Hurricane Isaac brought us rain yesterday and the remnants are still headed our way and promise to give us more rain today and possibly over the next couple of days.

Christopher came down for the holiday/ pre-move-in weekend and we spent most of yesterday just doing some smaller odds and ends jobs around the house in preparation for moving in.

Since I was able to get gravel up around the house on Friday, Lorrie was able to finally park "Camo Gal", her Suburban, in the garage for the first time. We don't have any TV's yet but I did take the monitor off of the video security system and Christopher and I explored DirectTV for the first time.

Installing the first section of log railing.

Four sections done, looking great.

Installing the first section in the loft area.

This fawn browsed through right off the front porch. It is maybe 50 feet between the front porch and the pond, she came right through exploring.

"Camo Gal" is finally in the garage again.
