Helen Simpson’s 3 Story Construction Project
Helen Simpson is getting ready to begin the process of finishing her new Honest Abe Log Home! The crew (Ricky Hatcher Construction) just completed the dry-in on this three story house the last week in January.
With a three story home, you have to think ahead on certain things such as the master bedroom being on the 3rd floor while the laundry room is on the 1st floor. Obviously thinking of climbing stairs and the time it would take transporting clothes back and forth, Helen designed a dumb waiter near the laundry room of the home. Also located between the 1st and 2nd floor is a set of spiral stairs. The 2nd floor also holds a deck and a porch on either side. Though it’s only 24’x32’, the home ends up being a roomy 2,304 sq. ft.
