This and That

In between happily hosting Tiny House visitors, we've been working on a few less-than-glam projects. While I stained trim boards and oozed spray foam insulation all around the doors and windows this week, Bill spent some time trimming up the roof (still a work-in-progress). 

We're thinking about using pallet wood as the trim/siding around the slim row of clerestory windows, so I've also been sanding and staining boards we ripped out of a few more pallets. Big decision looming: what to do for the rest of the siding. What we like and what we can afford...always something to wrestle with. Yesterday we drove to a local sawmill to take a look at their rough, "green" board-and-batten used on many of the barns around here.

What are the blue straps for in the first photo?

Hi, Tom. We've been using blue painter's tape to mark where outlets will go. In the picture with the strips of blue painter's tape, I was thinking about where shelves might go (again, in order to think about where we wanted the outlets). Let me know if you have any more questions...they help us reflect on what we're doing!

Cool design -- I love the clerestory windows. Plainly, your place will have plenty of everything one needs!
