Now we're back outside finishing up the log siding and the decks. We are also building another Gazebo.

It's Finished!

The decks are done and the hot tub is installed.

Tom is putting the final touches on the Gazebo with a fresh coat of stain.

On the South end of the house we are building a deck beside the Gazebo, so we can sit a hot tub on it.

Baker's Fabercation build a Cast Iron rail for the balcony.

Todd & Dan A. are working putting the trex decking down on this upstairs porch.

The log siding is complete on the back of the house.

The pillars are in and the Gazebo is starting to take form. Also the log siding is almost complete on the the back side of the house.

This is the foundation for the new Gazebo.

These poles are the coolest part of this porch.

We've dug the hole so we can pour the retaining wall. This is also the future sight of the new gazebo.

The cement is poured and the guys are smoothing off the cement.

The forms are off and these walls look good!

Dan Jr. & Todd are also putting the Trex decking down. We are using a new hidden fastener so there's not any screws showing.
