A Homestead Daughter

• Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - Cabin Roof On!!

The cabin roof is finished enough for winter now. Foam insulation and the metal roofing will finish it completely in the spring.

Here it is at the halfway mark:

Isn't it pretty?

I'm glad that the round rafters will be left visible in this cabin (the round rafters here in our house had to be buried inside the ceiling).

Roof meets gable end:

Finished!! (A molding strip will run down the peak to cover that little gap.)

Wouldn't she look cute decked out for Christmas?

What a cozy looking cabin. Exciting that it's almost done.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. The live nativity is a great idea. I'm not sure how well the calves and sheep would cooperate, but Sadie would love being the center.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the cabin for? I think it is the cutest cabin I have ever seen, but I never did catch why you all were bulding it.
Sorry,

About Me

I'm an 18 yr. old daughter who lives on and loves her 50 acre homestead in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love all the animals that we own and appreciate their different and unique personalities. My days are spent working on the land with my family of 11. By working, playing and praying together we have become a very close knit family. There is always something going on, from the silliest stories to the most interesting homesteading processes and projects. I love living the way we do, I find peace in our fields, woods, creeks, animals, siblings and sunshine. I love having my family all together, we home-school and my dad is home working our homestead with us. Jesus is blessing us in our decision to do this, and while this lifestyle is not without it's thorns, He is always providing. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and may God bless you with the peace that homesteading brings.
