Spring 2015 Updates

A busy first quarter and spring kept us away from the cabin on weekends a little more than we liked,  but a wedding is a good reason for that!  We have started to make an effort to finish off the timber frame barn.  It will be a long process and our ideas on finishing will probably evolve over time.


A smoky Sunday morning in the mountains....



The timber frame will be a challenge but we will start with the underskirt and railings.






The upstairs bathroom ceiling being primed for paint.   We're going to paint the ceiling white.





Dragged the settee from Georgia and now this section of the upper deck is my favorite place to relax. 


An old salvaged ammo box makes a handy little table.




The sun burned off the early morning fog





 Planted a snowball bush here on the hillside in front of the barn; fingers crossed it takes.  
We will be checking on its progress!



Maybe an Oak Leaf Hydrangea here?




 Got em!   Unfortunately the carpenter bees are a menace, drilling their nesting holes all over the wood.   They are a marvel of engineering though, how they drill their hole and fit their fat bodies inside.   We hate to kill them but they are so annoying and destructive...


 The barn workshop...
Useful little gadget, a corner level for the railing posts


Making progress!




This is the view!!
