Needing a change from interior painting, we got some wood wrapped around most of the windows and ordered mullions to complete them.

I need a fence or vegative screen to hide the neighbor's antique car from the dining room view.


This is starting to look like a real kitchen. I have to order the stove and dishwasher before the counter top guys return.


Need mullions to finish wrapping these windows and door.


That cedar tree I had to cut down is a pile of air-dried boards.



The rough-sawn boards are on their way to becoming paneling for the living room ceiling.


I'm pretty pleased with the little consumer grade bench planer I bought for this project. I've wanted one for a long time. Turning my cedar tree into paneling was just the rationalization I needed to go ahead and buy it.

Next I have to edge all the boards, and they are officially paneling. I've been planning to finish the cedar with Dally's Sea Fin Teak Oil. I've used the stuff on practically everything I've made over the years, but I'm wondering if I should consider something else. It's gonna' be the ceiling after all, and inconvenient to do anything with once it's installed.

Nice works Salmo, no safety violations jump right out at me so you are cool... for now

brewer has a great suggestion about the neigbors old car. have an artist paint a scenic river portrait. on the brand new interior glass widerz. have the artist oil paint a sweet portrait of a river scene. like it's your river front property.

Looking good Salmo, and OSHA-Approved photos this time.

Turning a tree in your yard into the ceiling of your living room is cool.

Very nice piece of work. Judging from the size of that sawdust pile and the distance to the old car, you maybe should consider buying your neighbor some ear protection.....eh?....eh?....whachoosay? Just pulling your leg. How long until the residents move in? Don't worry about the window treatment....Obama has mullions to give away. Remember....fish don't take appointments.

Nice work there. Painting does get old, especially detail painting. Always nice to bang on some wood for a change of pace. Percussive therapy is good.

I think we need to enjoy a beer on each other's deck when we are done.

Anybody care to guess who will be done first?

I like that craftsman style front door you chose

One Way,

I'm a lot more safety conscious these days, altho I do drink beer (one) while using power tools on hot days. I'll add a railing on the deck when I get around to installing the actual deck. There's just a bunch of scrap OSB and plywood laying on the framing temporarily.

Brewer,

I might put up a fence with a mural on it.

Slab,

There is no neighbor on that side. Renters ransacked the mobile home that sits there, and it's no longer fit for occupancy. I think the owner doesn't know what to do with it. If I had more spare time and money I'd like to buy it and build a small retirement home on it. Cut down four fir trees and the lot has a great Mt. Rainier and valley view.

Shoot, if Obama can give mullions away, I'll ask Olympic Mountain Millwork why they can't too.

Andy,

I question that I'll ever be done. I will get my deck far enough along so that I can get the "occupancy" certification tho. But a beer on the deck is good anytime.

Mike,

Thanks, but I didn't choose it. Rochelle chose the door, and the interior paint colors (I probably would have done it all in "off"-white to make it simple), and a lot of other touches that will make it a cool home.

Turned the stack of rough sawn cedar into this stack of planed cedar boards. Next step: edging.

I'm not moving that car!! That SOB from Craigslist was supposed to pick it up last May.
