Downstairs already had all 4 doors, but today, I added 2 doors upstairs;

This is the door to the master bedroom upstairs, seen from the bathroom.

This is the two doors, on the left towards the bathroom, on the right to the stairs.
Never mind the mess there: it’s doubling as storage space, work area and bedroom.

As you may know, my brother is like my self a fully qualified electrical engineer. Although I don’t have any pictures of the details,
I would like to mention that he did a very good job of hooking up power to several places in the home,
like light in the guest bedroom, power upstairs, a better spot for the wifi, increasing the speed.

The bar is starting to look nice too:

Thanks to Lina’s staining and suggestion to move the fridge to the corner,
which makes the kitchen look bigger too.
The countertop is in, But the faucet and sink are not yet hooked up, nor are there any drawers.

The final wall frames were put in today, creating the Master Bedroom upstairs with en-suite Bathroom.

This was taken from what will be the bathroom, which has a door only to the bedroom.
It’s just wide enough to enter the bed from the side. The bedframe I will make myself,
from the cedar that is still left. It’s been extremely cold for Texas standards;
tonight we will have frost (23 Fahrenheit or -5 Celsius). The gaps still open in the ceiling,
make for a fresh breeze on top of the already low temperature. Luckily the Ikea comforter keeps me warm.
The guest bedroom downstairs is much warmer, thanks to insulation and heating/airco.
Just a week ago it was 82F (28C) during the day. Like they say; If you don’t like Texas weather,
wait an hour.

I managed to find a solution for the ceiling also; the lap sided boards will go across on the 2×4’s
The originally 2×6 originally keeping the roof edge in place has been cut to 2×4 at the end,
so the roof can continue from the log wall all the way up and over. The top of the Rafter will become storage space.

Karel (my oldest brother) and his girlfriend Lina are over and helping me get things ready.
Here’s Lina in action staining the inside log wall in the dining area

In Texas, it can and will get both hot and cold. So for comfort, everyone has HVAC, which means both heating and air conditioning.
As there is a cold front coming in, it is time to get that arranged. So in come Mr. Cool.  And this time I’m not referring to myself,
but to the unit that will cool and heat the guest bedroom downstairs.

On the outside, this unit is temporarily placed on a board, whilst a concrete bed is drying.

On the inside is this unit, that can be controlled with both remote control and an App.
The temperature can be set, and will either heat or cool as needed.
Now we’re ready for the cold front, which might bring the temperature to freezing point!

That’s how my song goes. In who knows how many years, someone will open up that wall and think 🤔 ????

P.S. the boots I did take out before the drywall went on.

From my comfy chair this is my view.
