#Plumbing vents mostly done for master bath / laundry. I framed in the walls for this #bathroom so the vent pipes will all be hidden behind it. The drain lines run under the house which is built on piers. The pipes will be vented up through the second floor and eventually through the roof. It's a 4 bed / 3 bath home.
Once I finish plumbing the second floor, I'll post about it on my build blog: https://loghomejourney.wordpress.com/
or you can get updates a few times a week at the microblog: https://mudbox.freedombox.rocks/ikiwiki/NotesfromtheMudbox/
Making my #calculations in #LibreCAD for my #stairs - #liveEdge #oak #slabs
Online stair calculators assume you are cutting the stairs into the stringers and nailing down the boards on top of the cuts - I'm leaving the live edge and making my calculations from a center line - so the online calculators don't work.
Log Home Builders Association ( #LHBA) teaches you how to use #logs that almost all other #builders would reject. Here's my buddy pulling some logs out of a pile I had my neighbor make while clearing his driveway. My friend is going to build a 20x20 #hunting #cabin on his property with them. The excavator operator THANKED ME for saving him the money he would have to spend to dump these logs at the #landfill. You can see my cabin in the background - I got my logs the same way (well - I had to cut them myself, but still....)
You see all the #doom and #gloom on the news - what with #covid, #vaccine #mandates, threats of #unemployment, a #devaluing #dollar, #instability in the world, #evil #bankers pushing for a new world order #NWO, and you wonder what you can do about it. Getting out of #debt is a great way to #StickItToTheMan. #Building a #home with no #mortgage is a great way to stay out of #debt.
Found a style of #stairs I really like- this will be how I do my stairs in my #cabin. Except I'll have risers in mine...
