October 13th, Wrapping the porch in cedar

This month the most picturesque thing to happen with the house is that the back porch and gazebo are being "wrapped" with cedar. The plain wood that was used to construct the porch and gazebo are covered with this very lovely cedar wood which was cut and milled just about 4 miles up the road from us. It smells wonderful now. I don't know if it will smell that way after it is sealed. We are also having them line the master bedroom closet with the cedar.




The french door leading into the kitchen is now installed. In fact, all doors are up now so the house can finally be closed off to the elements and critters.


And here's Nigel, sitting on the porch looking out thru what will be a screened section in the future. We'll be able to keep the dogs out of there if we want, like when we are eating.
