The last thing the builder did after finishing the first floor deck was to place the large bundles of logs on the deck so they would be easily accessible.

Before anything can be done with the logs, the deck must be marked with the locations of the various doors, windows, electrical lines, etc.

Finally, we are ready to unwrap the first bundle of logs. Malinda is like a kid opening a long-awaited Christmas present.

The logs are removed from the stack and laid out around the edge of the deck.
