We thought you might all enjoy seeing the Oliver cabin progress:
**These pictures were taken June 20 to June 22

Cabin site, it was pretty rocky, so it made a pretty crazy foundation!
Cement Poured
It took 3 semi trucks to deliver the logs, the trucks didn't want to try to make it up the driveway, so they parked on the highway and had to be unloaded by the forklift and hauled up the road.

| The long logs were tricky to get up the road |
 |
| Zac & his friends (Blake & Luke) helped bury the pipe for the electrical wire. It was a busy weekend, but we got a lot done. ******************************************************************************* |
**Two weeks later: July 2 to July10
 |
| The walls were 8 feet up when we saw the cabin 2 weeks later! It is coming together quickly. |

By the time we left on July 10th, this is what the cabin looked like:

| Floor on second level is done! |
We are excited to go back in 2 more weeks and see the progress :)

Two weeks later (July 22), the cabin was getting the roof on.
David, Michelle, Katrina, & Spencer all helped paint on the black asphalt sealant on the foam foundation.
This is what the cabin looked like when we left on July 26. Windows & doors are in. The roof has the plywood on it, the water-proof sealant is on the foundation.

The builder quit yesterday, July 30 (apparently he took another job beginning Aug. 1st that he didn't tell us about). So next time we go up, we will need to put the metal roof on, put trim around the windows & doors, and measure the lower windows/doors for covers to winter-proof the cabin.
