Work continues on the decks around our log home. Our contractor promises that we will be totally finished by the end of September. That completion date is hard to believe; with soffit, fascia, gutters, decks, screen porch and final grading still to be completed. At least our front deck is finished....giving us one place to sit outside and enjoy the surrounding flora and fauna. The furniture on this deck is from our old house...it was old and faded (unpainted, natural wicker). A fresh coat of hunter green paint has spruced it up and now it looks like it belongs with this house. I love re-purposing old things and giving them new life with a coat of paint! New cushions help give a bit of eye appeal.

Here are a few pictures of the interior....The walls are framed, and now the plumber and electrician are finishing the roughed in wiring and plumbing. Once that is complete, there is an inspection by the codes office and then the walls are finished. Our...
