Yesterday the West wall exterior got completely finished with siding. I think it turned out quite nice and everyone in the build thinks it looks “rustic.” Ty mentioned that the wood we used would cost around $6 a foot if we bought it from the lumber yard. Thanks to the Pritchard family it only cost the labor of taking down an old granary.

Today Johnny, Chris and myself took the wood for the interior siding to get speed sanded. The finished product looked spectacular after a mouth and ear full of sawdust. I think we gave the speed sander and dust collector a run for its money.

After lunch we went right ahead and cut the wood to be placed inside. Diligently working, the group consisting of myself, Johnny, Nic and Dusty measured, cut and nailed the siding almost covering the entire West wall.

The day soon came to an end as we were told that the windows have made their way across the Atlantic Ocean and will arrive on site in the morning.
