I think you can replace the flag holder with a bottle opener and fix that.
Cant have too many bottle openers and the flag holder needs to be at the correct height. Plus the screw holes are not wasted that way.

Dave, As far as colors, I like the choice. At least your choices were pretty close. When we built our house, I wanted pale yellow, the Mrs. wanted barn red so the right choice was obviously red.
Those are some interesting gutter guards. What is the mesh made of?

and yer place looks great ryan, the envy of the hood the gutter guards are a stainless mesh set in aluminum frame. variable mesh size is used depending on roof pitch (coarser for higher pitches) the only potential drawback is once the roof goes on you can never (easily) access the gutters again, but shouldnt need to. i have an "upsidedown" brush to help keep the guards cleaned off.

In Missouri, cabin decoration starts with coolers and locations of bottle openers.

VERRRRRY Nice.
Anyone else look at James' cabin and wonder if he took a good look at LL2 before starting it?

I spent a day at ll2 and Bob and Debbie spent a day at the farm before we started the cabin. Ours is a much smaller version.

Hey Brettski, the cabin is conventional framing & then rough-hewn 1" x 12" layed on inside & out, then chinking applied. The cabin was already there when we purchased the land, but it was a real selling point for us. They built the cabin near a creek in a native Pecan grove It has an upstairs open loft for sleeping, otherwise it is one room cabin. IMHO, if I were to do it myself, I would have separate, walled-off bedrooms cause you had better be pretty good friends with whomever sleeps-over..

I think the word "cabin" does not quite work for james holt's new getaway.
