Excellent.

I am torn by the burnt wood finish. I like the natural look where the wood ages on its own over time, but at the same time, the burn wood gives it a uniform look and it blends right in to its surrounding like its been there for a 100 years.

I like how the 2nd floor overhang walls are dovetailed in. That's a nice touch.

And I understand the desire for plastering the attic/2nd floor interior, but it seems a shame to cover over that beautiful wood.

The guy seems to get more buff as the building goes on. And he is lifting those logs in to place like they weigh nothing. When my parents had an addition put on the house about 5 years ago, my dad did a lot of landscaping. Shoveling literally tons of dirt. He was a muscle man by the end of that summer.
