Successful show - and finished garage/office

Thanks to everyone for coming to say hi to me at the Charlotte Log & Timber Frame Expo over the weekend! It was wonderful to visit with some of my blog readers. So many people came in to the booth and recognized me and the Rockbridge from the blog. That was really rewarding. I spoke with so many people, registered tons of people to win the Harley, and gave away a million canvas bags.

The show was crazy! There was so much interest in our product, people were waiting in line to talk to us. Can't wait to see you all again at the model! Bring those free planning guide coupons in to get your free 2008 Southland Planning Guide.

As far as progress on the model:------------------------

Very productive week last week. The logs are all stacked and the house and the garge/office are 'dried in'. Caulking is complete inside and out. Shingle roof is complete on the office. Office logs are stained inside and out and stone work is completed on the foundation of the garage/office. We are just waiting for interior walls and wiring in the office.

The metal roof on the model is 3/4 way complete. They are waiting on completion of the chimney before the rest can be done. And the HVAC is done. Here are some pictures of the ductwork.

One more thing - we have a jobsite dog. I named her Cadie (short for "Stockade" - as in our Stockade style logs.) She has a collar, but appears to be a stray.
