Although we no longer own the log house, it serves as a reminder that you CAN achieve realistic goals no matter how daunting they may seem.

“Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.

 ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here are pictures of the painting and installation of the kitchen cabinets. Many thanks to my brother-in-law Jim for his expertise.

Stain and sheetrock finished.

Still staining. This is a two coat system using Sikkens Cetol
Log and Siding. We are brushing it on for reason I can't explain.
It is tedious work and we have to do it twice.

The second coat starts to make the logs shine.
