Ordering a bunch of windows. Two of them are even the same! The rest unique, because old log house.
We opted for the top openable/bottom fixed type, so you can leave stuff on the windowsill and also because they are quite low. Which we got used to and like now. You can see more of the garden :)
There are usually 5 basic steps to finishing your log home:
1. Prep the surface
2. Preserve against rot, bugs and fire.
3. Apply the stain, clear coats if using
4. Apply the chinking and sealants
5. Relax and enjoy your work!

Done digitizing the house. Well, apart from roof and attic which aren't very interesting right now.
Now to plan a bunch of stuff so we can decide if our ideas will work and what to do about doors, windows, etc.

Limewash is an interesting material. It's not paint, you just throw a bunch of slaked lime into water and keep it there. The longer you keep it under water, the finer it gets.
When you need it, dredge out a quantity of the stuff with enough liquid so it's like creamy yoghurt.
Best applied with a thick brush, likes to splash everywhere and is caustic enough to etch an aluminium ladder, so protect yourself.
It goes on looking thin but hardens by absorbing atmospheric CO2 (yup, carbon capture, or recapture at least) and turns whiter as it does.
Unlike cement and many modern paints, it is moisture permeable and so lets the log "breathe" and not rot underneath.
It's also antibacterial, so used to be applied regularly in animal barns.
