Master Bedroom

The beams and roofing on the main cabin are being started from the master bedroom as it is the farthest from where the equipment can get to. The guys said it is quite a trick to get the amazing beams from Ohio (translate: heavy and cumbersome) into place along the pond's edge. Being challenged in my ability to visualize a drawing, the framing is helping me to get a sense of the feeling inside each room. On the far right side of the bottom photo, you'll see the door leading onto the big rock porch mentioned in an earlier post.

Red Stone

When we dismantled the cabin in Hamilton, Alabama, we were able to take the fireplace rock also. It does not match Tennessee limestone, but is still beautiful. Our decision was to put the limestone on the exterior to match the foundation rock work and then use the red stones for the interior. The scaffolding blocked the complete view, but if you look closely, the rock over the fireplace opening is one huge piece - incredible! I'll try to get a better photo when its completed.

Water's Melody

The Writer's Cabin sits on the bank above the creek. I can't wait for porch furniture so we can sit and listen to the glorious sound of the water. Just think of the inspired writing (or inspired anything, for that matter!) that will take place at that location!
