November 26, 2007 -- Wiring rough in has been done at the cabin. The box on the left is where the master bedroom light switches goes. The box near the center of the photo is for master bathroom switches. The lower box is for an outlet.

November 26, 2007 -- The exterior stain was tested on this short wall. The cloth is to simulate what the chinking would look like. The stain is semi-transparent so knots and grain shows through it.
