Siding Update

From Suzannah Kolbeck, Mama to La:

We have spent four days siding, some longer than others, and here is where we are as of today, the days before the clouds roll in and the raindrops fall:

The long view

 Closer view of the back. Note the oddly-shaped window; this window was

salvaged from a boat in Alaska by La's papa. She put it in herself.

 

 A peek around the back. The side facing the fence is the only side that is

completely done. Of course.

 

This last view above The Pimple (which is itself completely detachable for travel and will be finished with blue 1/4" plywood on the door, painted blue, and the star) shows one side of the window with one more board than the other. The one thing I have learned the hard way is to stop when you are tired. If you don't, you will make mistakes and hurt yourself. As much as I wanted to finish this section today, I didn't want to have to go back and rip it out on Monday. So I stopped, even though I had a piece cut. It wasn't quite right, and it was just time to stop.

Must give a shout-out to PMC Building Materials here in Marietta. When they found out what we were doing, the gave us a great deal on our siding, delivered it for free and didn't balk at our little order. Great guys, great service!

And of course, a final shot from Day 2 of siding of La herself.

She's going to be so mad I posted this shot, but too bad. That's what

happens when your mama takes over the blog!

If you want to meet this amazing person (and the author of this post), please make sure and sign up for the first ever Tiny House Conference in April 2014. The plan is to bring LPM with us, so you can see what we have been doing!
