Log Home Pictures from 2010, Part 3 of 3
4/28/10 The hole through the log wall for the bathroom ceiling fan. It has been flattened to accommodate the vent cap.
4/28/10 The bathroom ceiling fan has been installed.
4/28/10 The vent cap for the bathroom ceiling fan.
5/27/10 Ventilation duct, through phony log and up between the rafters to the grill at the top.
5/27/10 Ventilation duct running down to crawl space inside the bedroom closet.
6/15/10 View of new landslide on Nason Ridge through the high front window from the loft. You can also see part of the high scaffold tower used to install the light fixture on the ridgepole.
6/15/10 Zoomed in a little, you can see the landslide a little better.
6/15/10 Zoomed in more yet. You can barely see the mysterious dark spot in the middle of it.
6/15/10 Zoomed in to the max, you can see the black spot but it's hard to tell what it is. If it is a dead bear or sasquatch, the carcass should disappear after a little while. We'll keep watch on it.
6/24/10 Here is the fan and duct work for the ventilation system in summertime mode. The duct going off to the right turns and goes outside the building. The heating mode for wintertime will involve ducting going left from the tee. This is not installed yet. You can see the control for the valve that switches between summer and winter mode. It is the straight black wire sticking diagonally down from the tee. It is held over to the right by a dowel sticking out from the wooden mounting structure at the bottom. For wintertime mode, that wire is moved over to the left, which moves the flapper inside the tee over to the right. The wire is then held there by repositioning the dowel into a hole on the left side.
6/24/10 Here is the phony log in the loft all set up to do its job. It houses the ventilation duct which you can barely see going out the top and up between a pair of rafters. It also houses the wire powering the fixture in the ridgepole which might eventually hold a ceiling fan. You can see this wire exiting the phony log at the top. It also houses a thermostat at the top right, a phone jack at the top left, and the ventilation fan control switch in the middle. You can also see one of the loft receptacles near the floor behind the phony log which is now operational and powering the telephone sitting atop the dresser.
6/24/10 Here is a view of the light fixture installed under the ridgepole in the living room.
6/24/10 Another view of the same fixture. The fixture is no big deal, but getting it installed was. It required a three-tier scaffold tower to reach all the way there.
