My week off project...




My boss said to take the week off this week because we can't work on our next project yet so I decided to turn my cabin inside out. Doesn't look a lot better? I thought the blue kinda looked funny and I would rather have just natural cedar and spray a transparent oil on it. So I took all the siding down, pulled the nails out and twisted the siding around and nailed them back on. It took a good old two days. I really like it a whole lot better and it makes it more like a real cabin. Actually, it looks really beautiful! With all the knots on the wood makes it look rustic. I also installed my cabinets in the cabin, even though the doors and drawers are not made yet and I am glad I put them in before making the drawers and doors because it turns out I need to put in shorter drawers because the ladder is in the way and shorter drawers would work with the ladder there. I should be making the counter top, doors, and drawers next week when I go back to work so I can work on them after work in the shop. Soon as I get my next paycheck, I will definitely buy a stove because it gets cold in there now!
