Activity at the cabin continues with completing the staggered shake siding and poplar siding. Tim and James worked all they could last week but the weather (rain) and Christmas put a small dent in the work flow. As of today, we're back on schedule.
The photo to the right is of the view side almost finished. The last bit of poplar siding will go on tomorrow as well as the soffit and fascia. The part that says 'Lowe's' if where the porch roof will attach.
There will be some dramatic changes to the cabin's exterior appearance in the next couple of weeks barring any weather delays.
While in Raleigh on the way to Miami we picked up some cedar trees from Chapel Hill, one of which will go in the cabin as a support post and railing post. We also bought some rusted barn roofing tin that's going to be used as our kitchen ceiling and some tobacco tier poles from Nash County. All of this will make more sense once we start to finish the interior and you see the photos.
Darlene is heading back to Raleigh on Monday. The weather on Monday here will be 27 degrees high and 13 degrees low. Tuesday is expected to be even colder. Needless to say, we'll be doing a few things inside the first of the week.
More coming,
