As I mentioned in the previous post, some of the finish work on the house has begun. This certainly heightens our awareness that the end is in sight. I know, many hours of work remains, but it is good to see the finished product beginning to emerge. With all the rough carpentry work complete, I enlisted the work of Ben Beatty and two of his carpenters to trim out the eaves all around the house. I had originally planned to do this work myself but the prospect of doing this job alone at the end of a 30 foot extension ladder was not too appealing and I have been so impressed with Ben's work that I know they would do a great job. So, the work of applying hundreds of feet of stained cypress trim has begun.
More than one person has remarked that they can't wait for the red, white and black house wrap material to get covered up. Well, hopefully in the next three weeks, the siding will be going on and the house's personality will start to really show itself. Of course, I have a small detail to address; how to apply stain to 3,100 linear feet of cypress bevel siding and another 800 square feet of cedar shingles. This is going to take some ingenuity and I am looking for any suggestions on how this can be done efficiently and effectively.
