These beams all came in with ultra perfect edges-oh! not a good look for a primitive house. Sooooo I pulled out that hand hewing tool again. Oh! I do love that tool.
As I think I said before Colin came up with the design for the star window and the offset side beams on the center beam was Lyles idea. I love the idea of creating something unique.
So the beams are in and now we need a painter. This poor man worked so hard to get the look I wanted and he did come pretty close. Not quite the color I had in mind but he tried so hard and kept coming back that I told his it was fine and actually gave him a $150 dollar bonus just for his effort.
With the cost of this paint job I keep wondering if Lyle regretted his decision not to let me do it myself. LOL
Oh! What a mess it always was in here. Each day we would try to clean up when everyone had finished work for the day, just to have it semi clean the next morning when we returned.
