Third Summer

Street side view.  Finished treating the siding with penetrating oil.  Clad the foundation with 22 gauge CorTen steel.  Most of the exterior is complete and landscaping/grading is scheduled to be completed in a few weeks.

View of the guest cottage door.

The steel is intended to rust to a bright orange colour.
Street side view of the workshop.

Screened the porch.

Cobbled together a screen porch door from left over white oak.

Screen detail viewed from outside.

Deer antler sheds for door handles.

Finished the kitchen and most of the baseboards.

Five seven foot tall cabinets built in the same materials as the kitchen cabinets.

Same cabinets viewed from the library.

Another pair of cabinets by the screen porch door.

Yet another cabinet built in by the front door. 

Built a dining room table out of left over oak and a sheet of new oak plywood.  The built in bench under the window will be installed next week.
This view shows the proximity of the table to the kitchen island.

View where the rafters meet the beam by the windows in the corner of the bedroom.
Washer and dryer in the laundry/clothes closet.


IKEA cabinets in the laundry/clothes closet.
(The side of the cabinet is a weird colour in this photo - it is a dark grey.)
Shower.

Vanity and light in the bathroom too.
Light over the shower.

Summer view from the bedroom window.

Interior doors hardware.

Rocky the grinder and Silvia the espresso machine worked harder than anyone else this summer.

Boneless cat.
