Kenyon and I both had business trips to Utah the last week of July, so we spent about 24 hours working on the cabin on August 1. When we left in June we were feeling really good about what we had accomplished. So, we actually didn't have too much to get done for this trip. We had about 2/3 of one row of chinking left on the outside and one gable end needed to be painted. There's still plenty to do, but those were the only things that we needed to get done and the other things the contractor can work on.
We were able to accomplish everything and even have enough time to get things cleaned up and not be rushing out of there in the dark! Where it stands now, all exterior chinking is complete. The contractor needs to finish the "bird blocks" between the top log and roof and the house will be completely weathered in.
