Beaver Blog Cabin

The back french doors and two of the four 3x5 double hung windows.

Tim taking a little phone break. He's getting the posts up in preparation for the winders.
Mike staining the side. It takes one whole day to do each side.
A breakfast w/ the kiddies.... still trying to entice Magoo to eat food!! We had Mickey Mouse waffles. Of course, Matthew didn't want anything.
The back side all stained... you can see the other side is not done yet.
So, what do ya think? We used Natural Cedar stain.
The front door window.
This is our very expensive front door w/ transom and a dentil shelf under the window.
This is the balcony door and other doors.
I helped Timmy with the window buckings. I also helped to stain. Finally, I get to help out!
Mikey getting ready to go train the forces at the firing range.

"a dentil shelf under the window"... WHAT is this? I mean...WHY is it called a dentil shelf? We have one under the windows of our front door, but I've never heard it called anything.

The photos are Phantastico!!(how's that for a word??)

LOL

yes well, Mike had to have a "dentil shelf" we had to special order it...

that's just what it was called when we ordered it..
a decorative shelf...

Mike is going to make one himself for the inside.

Everything about the cabin looks wonderful. The windows, the doors, the windows and the color. Mike and Tim have quite an accomplishment and will be able to brag for years to come.

I love the last picture of our fearless cop in uniform. Isn't he good looking????? (smile)
