I last posted 2 weeks ago because the process of siding is slow and tedious, and I just didn’t want to post something until I had enough done to make the cabin look different than the last time. In my opinion, this is worth the wait – let me know what you think.

I now have 2 sides of the cabin sided, and I feel like most of the challenging parts are over. I have a bit of experience now with things, so hopefully the next 2 walls will be less ‘up and down’ so-to-speak. Hopefully I have enough lumber for the job, but if not, I will just mill some more! Join me at the sawmill soon!

Now, I can sit here and critique my work to no end, and the gable end at the front doesn’t look quite as good as I hoped (maybe all black would have looked better), but it’s not worth changing! I think the back will look better with longer spans of the wood both vertically and horizontally.

Of course, my chipmunk friends are back! Yay!! There is one specifically out of the bunch I’ve seen (I’ve seen about 4-5) that crawls up on me, and he is the only one, so I am certain that’s Johnny from last year. So cute.

As always, I appreciate you tuning in and watching the journey(s) of my life.

See you in the next one!

(P.S. Yes, I will sand down and paint/stain the sliding glass door black to match AND I will eventually install a railing )
