FIDO + FOREST JOURNAL // RAISING THE ROOF: PART 1 // ARTICLE 003

Saying that a lot has happened since I last wrote is a small understatement.  We finished the walls, framed in the roof and loft, sheathed in and installed the steal, installed windows and doors, put the floor in, and oh yeah... I've also been growing a human, so there's that. Life has been a little crazy and sharing our journey on this blog took a bit of a back seat.  I'm going to do my best to update this a bit more regularly but I gotta say, growing a human is more exhausting than I could have ever imagined and I definitely can't make any promises

I've been taking lots of video and photos documenting the process along the way and it's A LOT to get through when all i'd rather be doing is sleeping. I honestly haven't had that much motivation as I feel like I'm stuck in a creative rut right now. I managed to pull together a quick video of Part 1 of raising the roof on the cabin. In the early fall, 3 of our good friends came up to help us frame the roof (and by help us I mean help Mitch, because let's be honest, I was just hanging in the hammock and taking photos the whole time). We couldn't have done it without them! Building with logs almost seemed simpler than trying to frame anything up on an un-level non-square building! Looking back at this video makes me realize just how much we've accomplished this fall, one weekend at a time. Hope you enjoy!
