Montana House

This doesn’t have anything to do with horror, but I wanted to post some pictures of my Montana house. I built a great deal of it myself and I’m very proud of it. It’s a log A-Frame based on a 1964 design. I used knotty pine throughout, even for the floors, and every room has at least one log wall, some have three.

 

Outside Front

 

We’re re-doing the bottom of the house. That’s why you see the exposed plastic. Woodpeckers are bad to peck on it also. Any white spots you see are just patches over woodpecker spots. We haven’t stained over them yet.

Top Of Stairs

 

Going Upstairs now. I helped build these stairs. The guy just showed up with a pick-up full of shaved logs and he formed them as he went.

 

Inner Balcony

 

This is the inside balcony that looks down into the Great Room. The ladder you see goes up to the Library.

Well, that’s it. I hope you’re not too bored.
