His Other Job


... quarter log siding the house – for a Nordic flair!

At last, Dan has finished the north side.


(That leaves me to sand, prime and paint the back step, posts, rails and insets for a true Scandinavian feel.)



Now he's measuring up the east side with the deck and three-season porch...



... and laying one log at a time. (This job began last fall with the south and west sides completed before last winter.)

This year's plan is to finish the rest before the cold settles in.





Then we can enjoy a little outdoor dining and relaxing – Scandinavian style – especially, when our Norwegian visitors arrive the end of September. But for now, I look forward to white washing the floor and trim when he's done with... his other job.

Love seeing the progress on the house...you're quite an example for the rest of us with unfinished projects!
