Cedar Jungle!

We pulled up to our property at 7:45 am with the Rapid River Rustic truck waiting for us on Wolf Lake Road. It was loaded to the hilt with pallets of our home logs as well as half log siding for the garage and dormers for the house. We also received a ton of our cedar tongue and groove decking for the soffits, rough sawn cedar for the fascia, and other miscellaneous cedar for window and door trim. We will most likely receive one more truck load from them towards the end of the "rough in" which will include all of the cedar stairs, balcony, deck material and other fun stuff I'm sure I am missing by not looking at our materials list. The rest of our building materials (internal framing, support beams, etc.) will come from Carter lumber in Jackson whom Rapid River Rustic has contracted through for the rest of our log home package (aside from all of our windows, French patio doors and fixed glass, which will come from their local Anderson Window distributor). The unloading went beautifully thanks to our excavator (RPM excavating) Mike and his dad Ron. They were done in 2 hours flat, and made everything look like cake! Our builder, Steve Keysor will begin the subfloor this up coming Wednesday! We'll see how much he can get done before the crew heads back north for hunting season!
