Jeff first started on the kitchen window casing today. All three boards fit nicely. We did not use a sill board for this window, as the sill log will suffice.
All three boards are bolted into place and ready for the window frame.
     
The frame is in place, along with the sashes for shimming.
From the outside, the sashless frame is now ready to be screwed into place.
 
 
Back inside, the frame has been secured and the jamb liners reinstalled.
The sashes are in, and this window is finished.
     
 
Now to insulate around the perimeter.
Another window completed.
     
 
The kitchen window looks so tiny as the only one on the rear wall so far.
The 1st floor bathroom window looks just as out-of- place.
     
 
A closeup of the bathroom window shows how the logs that make up this portion of the wall are far from vertically aligned with each other at this spot. The corners are where it counted. This misalignment is evidence of the curves and bows many of these logs have.
On to the next window, which we decided would be the south window of the dining room. This was our first twin double-hung, and the largest hole we've cut in the logs. Because Jeff was by himself today, he rigged up a simple safety strap to hold the log sections as he cut them loose.
     
 
By the time Jeff lowered the heavy log sections out the window and to the ground with block and tackle and worked a little on the sill log, it was well past sunset.
