It all depends where you are standing!
From here, in the dining room, looking up, it is a ceiling. But climb the steps and look across the loft.....and it is a floor.

Is it a Ceiling or a Floor?
It all depends where you are standing!
From here, in the dining room, looking up, it is a ceiling. But climb the steps and look across the loft.....and it is a floor.
Today our contractors are installing the pine decking (2 5/8 inch thick tongue and groove pine) that will serve as ceiling for the first floor and flooring for the second floor. Once this is complete, they will be able to frame out the rooms for the second floor. At the same time, the heating contractors are installing the geo-thermal unit that will serve as back up heat for our wood burning stove and fireplace.
Each day we are just a little farther along....and it is all so exciting...this building a log home.
