The Timberframe Barn Project

The railings are taking shape.  Next we will be staining and treating the wood before the carpenter bees can get to any of it!

Mochi always enjoys her visits to NC.  

Here she is living a dog's life while her parents work like dogs :)

 Can you see what this project was?  It was staining the raw wood;  bottom posts and bottom of the deck above.

Hmm....Maybe another coat of stain along the deck base.... but looking good!  

 I have my eye on a transformation for this potting bench that's currently on the lower deck.
   Was inspired by a Pottery Barn catalogue....

....especially after seeing the price.        

Stay tuned!

Another view of the posts all stained.  Benjamin Moore Translucent Stain.  It's a silver/grey color which should weather in time to match the rest a little better.     One gallon covered all of this with a little left over for a second coat.

Somehow all the chores that need to be completed have a different feel out here in the gorgeous mountains, than when at home!
