As typical with weather in the Spring here in Leetonia, Cedar Crest had the on
and off again battle with rain hindering progress. I decided to compress the
work during the month of April as much was repetitive.
April 7th-April
29th. Chimney work started. A lot of rock moving, rain and it
appears a few people not feeling too well. Most of this time spent getting
walls up and preparing logs for floor joists.
May 5th-May 31st.
Stone work continues on stairway and back side of cabin.
During the month the floor joists are put on and the decking finished. The
cabin second floor is framed up and logs put between sections. By the end of
May they are now battle with black flies and humidity.
June 8,1991 Actual log:
Ron, BJ & Bob Got
in about 1:00am Arlon and Josh in after 3am up at 8 am.
Unloaded both trucks of Aspenite then started cutting
rafters and setting Joists got rafters set by 1:00 PM ate Lunch and back to
work. First, filled Gables with aspenite and pulled roof level. Put Braces on
then finish gables with rough Pine boards. Took down boom and pine tree that
held it. Bob, BJ & Ron finished around 9:00pm…..—Arlon—
*My understanding is that the pine tree that held the boom
became part of the ridge pole for the building.
Cedar Crest gets a roof.
June 16th, 1991
Guys rallied and worked hard getting ¾ of roof on cabin
looks real good. Filled in logs in the top front and back.
June 17th, 1991 finished all the roof today also
did the floor up stairs and started the front porch roof.
June 18th, 1991
Finished porch roof with boards. Will put roll roofing on at
end of week. Put log strips over 2x4 plates. Started filling in behind old chimney
and started putting up new chimney. Sanded some on aspenite floor. Dug up pump
and took it to Germania to be checked. Put in
2 more stair steps(Their stairs are all stone so each step took a quite a bit
of time).
The rest of June they got the chimney fixed, the pump
working, put in a shower, finished railing on stairs. By the end of June things
were definitely getting tightened up and weather-proofed.
All things considered they did a great job getting this work done only on weekends. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
