Allard Lodge: May 2009
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. This is the only picture I took last Sunday. Dana, Dad and I poured concrete all day long, so no one was available to take any pictures. I'm sure our neighbors loved us that day - the concrete mixer ran until 8:45 that night. And it is NOT quiet in any way! Monday morning Aaron was back from the camping trip that we missed out on and came by to help us pour the last side. So glad to be able to say that one more little task has been completed! Updated views of the house. My beautiful...

Allard Lodge: June 2010
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Well apparently I was a bad picture taker this winter. I don't have any pics for November, December or January. So check out my last 2 posts to get caught up through 2009 and I'll dive into 2010 just as soon as I can. Who knew they made tarps this big? And, yes, we really didn't work on the house the whole month. It was hunting season and raining after all. Priorities. I'll try to bring you up to speed. We didn't get too much done inside before we made it back outside to work on th...

Allard Lodge: January 2011
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. Hmmm, what do we have here? A little post that I started in January and then never finished! Here's some more pictures of the back of the house. We were still working on the roof well into November, luckily the rains held off a little bit. In this picture, the shed dormer is part way shingled. However, the weather was still wet enough that it had to be covered up with a tarp when work was completed for the day. As of the day before Thanksgiving the roof is finished! Dad worked o...

Allard Lodge: September work
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2011/01/september-work.html
Saturday, January 15, 2011. By September, we were really seeing some progress and getting those shingles up was such a huge relief for us! But, there's still lots of work to be done. Dad worked on creating this lead flashing so that water doesn't run down the logs and get underneath the shingles. There's still some counter flashing that gets cut in above this lead. We started to see shingles go up on the main roof. Lots of metal flashing going up too. Roy got those shingles cut perfectly. The early morni...

http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Bye, bye tarps.hello porch! So after a whole winter of the tongue and groove taking up residence in our shop, a whole winter of tip toeing around this trailer and not being able to open up the beer fridge all the way.finally the sun comes out and the tongue and groove goes outside! All winter long we had some pretty bad wind storms. Many days the tarps looked like this: (Notice you can see through part of the tarp there.not good). The view from below:.

Allard Lodge: More roof work
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-roof-work.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. In August, Papa came to visit/supervise and made a new friend. Dana drilled some holes for more lights, and yes this set-up IS OSHA approved. We had a bear making regular, nightly visits through the neigborhood. Bandit worked way too hard and had to nap, often. And we worked alot on the roof. All the insulation came in 4'X8' sheets so they all had to be cut to fit between the stringers. We did two layers of insulation, so there was lots of cutting/fitting going on.

Allard Lodge: April 2009
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. I am having serious issues with my computer right now. I've decided to start taking pictures in RAW and I can't upload them to my blog like I used to. So you might see a posting with just pictures in it until I remember to upload the pictures before I start typing my little story. I'll figure it out eventually, so just be patient with me. The biggest thing happening right now is that Dana decided to quit the job he's worked at for the past 11 1/2 years. Wow! The Army Life As Lived.

Allard Lodge: January 2009
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. So, we haven't really been working on the house lately. I have no updates, no new pictures. The only thing that I can say about the house right now is that it is staying pretty dry inside throughout the wonderful rain storms we get here in CC. Since there's not an update on the house, I thought I'd give you an update on us. The Umpqua River. We had lunch here on Sunday. One of the beautiful trails we rode our quads down at full speed.

Allard Lodge: July 2009
http://allardlodge.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. We spent days putting up these headers, so here are more pictures. Each header has to be centered and leveled. Then you have to drill a hole so your lag bolt can go all the way through the header into the log below.a tornado couldn't blow this thing away there's so much metal holding it together! Here's Dana's crazy dad working with him up on the platform. My crazy Dad running the equipment. Dana is just as happy as can be sitting up on top of those logs! This part: easy as well!
