Installing Log Cabin Windows

[@gmpillar09]

Maybe I can help you out with the fiber optic cables I’ve been a fiber optic technician for 20 years. Looks like SM cable with SC connectors APC on one end?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

It’s a sc/apc on both ends. I can send you a picture if you want.

[@gmpillar09]

@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 The green ends are APC the blue ends should be UPC both are SC connector.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

@@gmpillar09 they are green. Can I send them to you to get new ends on them?

[@gmpillar09]

Yes, but I only have one SC/APC connector right now. I would need to order more connector’s if you need more then one

[@gmpillar09]

I can also fusion splice if that would work better

Those windows - it's like putting the soul into the house Beautiful!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

Y'all been through it, goodness! Goats are cute they but they are also very destructive. Hopefully this week will be much better for you. The windows look great guys! Opens the cabin so much. Take care Hickory Ridge Family, hugs! Enjoy your dinner!

[@nightsong28540]

Great job of getting the downstairs windows in, second story windows and finishing the gable ends sounds like a good idea to have "professionals" do it as you're right, they've got the tools/ability to get it done quickly. Lol, the goats must like the taste of the cable...stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep dry and cool.

[@j.m.7056]

It's always something! My fingers are crossed for you. The windows look terrific. I'm sure you are happy to have daylight.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I am

I know about patience. We had a water leak in kitchen. With only one good hand, had to hire contractor to make repairs. There is very little pride in workmanship any more. Lazy workers, UGH! You hang in there. Your log home is going to be gorgeous. 👍👍

Love hearing the insects. My goodness, those goats ... lol Bless your heart!!! Unreal. Don't you wonder how these things happen??? So sorry for you. Looks so amazing with the windows in place! Good job... The pigs love the mud ... lol lol Well, that is interesting, fun to see if it is true. You are organized. Yes I can see it ... Wow that is amazing. Trees are looking good. Love how things are waking up. Things are looking so good. All the best!

Progress, despite the weather and the power company making you wait. The windows look great (as does everything you've done so far.) Sorry about the goats eating your cable! Sorry about that bedroom window, too! It's always something! But, you've come from such a long way and the finish line is in sight so "count it ALL joy!"

[@bobwest1915]

Steven, we miss your videos. We hope there’s no crises that’s that’s befallen you or any of you family. You’ve been off KZbin in the past a couple of times for real good reasons, but you’ve come back stronger, and told us viewers the reasons for your absence. It just seems a LONGER ABSENCE this time. If you can find the time to let your viewers know when you will be returning, we’d really appreciate it. We’ve been dedicated viewers since the first sill was put into place, and we’ve looked forward for every video since. We’re an older couple who spent 12 years trying to accomplish basically what you’re doing now, the only thing different was we purchased an old farmstead in 1960, with 75 acres of Mostly wooded hilltop and only about 5 acres cleared. The barns had burned down completely and the 12 room house was in rundown condition. That’s what we got for our $6600. Easy payments after $600. down and $60. a month for 10 years. We didn’t succeed. I won’t go into details, but we really enjoyed every minute of your accomplishments and look forward to your completing your home. We’re sure all your viewers miss your completing the projects you’ve started. Get back with us all. PLEASE, WE MISS YOU & YOUR FAMILY ITs been over 2 months since you’ve been on KZbin, I doubt you’ll get to read this Sincerely Bob&Nancy

The windows look great. They let alot of light in. I used to hate when ordering stuff for building supplies, they never seem to get it right!
