I have seen it where people use the bottom overhanging log and make it into a bench. It was pretty slick.

Maybe carve seats into it so isn't as slick.

I slid right into that one.

Well maybe, but it sure is a cool idea. it would give the house unforgettable character.

Found a couple of rocks to set out front.

They fit in with the general style. Looks good.

I recently purchased my next door neighbors place and the home was in dire need of repair. I pretty much took a month off of work and am now finishing up the (details). I was shocked to see how fast everything was destroyed to find the bones of the house. Now the tedious task of rebuilding has been completed and it looks like a house yet again. My point is, the little details seem to soak up the most time.... waterheater; check, plumbing; check, switches/covers; check. I can see progress but it is not as grand as flooring or drywall, those small details that are taking soo much time doesn't give the same result. You are making great progress on your home!! It has taken shape in just 90 pages within this forum and with all you have done - it looks like a feat in itself!!

 

[BoFuller]

Yes, I am amazed at the amount of detail and the time it takes, to do it the way I want it done. Pictures use to show big changes. Now I don't post as many because it looks about the same as a month ago. Only I know how much has changed.
I must have told my wife "2 more weeks" at least a dozen times. She finally quit asking.

Bo, Looking good. And you got rid of the outlet over the stove JK... Yes, the pace slows dramatically with finish work. I've been working on my interior for a year now since drywall was finished. I'm still doing finish work on cabinets that are yet to be installed... Day by day, one step at a time...

I stopped at the County permit office today to drop off my final revision (took the future bathroom walls back out), and the head inspector told me she will be doing the Final and that I have to get rid of my two 40' containers or she will fail me. Stupid code here says you are only allowed to have one 20 footer.<br />

I thought this was America. Somehow I moved to some other country.

Right, but I would rather take heat over containers than over constructitrivia.

It's good to know they are working with you. I don't know how you do it.

Bo, maybe you can move the containers to a friend's property until the "final" inspection is complete then move them back. Do everything to get the final then make the interior changes that you want. Stanley

That's what I was thinking.

I never imagined the stuff you had to put up with, would happen in Arizona. must be a zoning issue, can't imagine containers would be a code issue. Containers shouldn't have anything to do with your building final. I would be livid.

 

[gharms]

Bureaucrats, yuck!!! They have wayyyyyy to much say!! Kudus to you Bo that you can do it. You built a beautiful place!!!

 

[BoFuller]

A friend of mine came up with an idea. Stand them on end and bolt them together. Then you have one 8 X 16, that just happens to be 40' tall.

Well, I said he had an idea, I didn't say it was a good one.

Here is another idea, you are building a boat: (scroll down to second pic)
