    Hello folks. We are still here, just busy. I wanted to show you how we went about wrapping posts and beams in an older home.

    Sharpening Shed – the foundation

    April 15, 2019 /

    Time to make some more covered storage. There never seems to be enough space. The woodworking shop is becoming a bit too close for comfort for some of the work to be performed. It plan is to recycle some wharf timbers and then to mill some logs to put up the buildling.

    It Started Out Just to Cover Up Some Dirt

    August 17, 2018 /

    We got a call from a family in Antigonish who were looking for one of our folding bench picnic tables. After we delivered it, the conversation turned into, “I was wondering if you can also do this…”.  They wanted some sort of box to wrap around the deck posts columns to cover the dirt, and at the same time allow a shelf to place one or more social beverages while they sit out in their back yard.

    Changing up the Entryway

    August 3, 2018 /

    With the heat continuing outdoors (humidity sucks) work continues indoors. When we painted the living room two weeks ago, we brought the same paint into the entryway since they are open to each other. We just painted the upper portion of the walls knowing we would get around to finishing it off sooner or later. No time like the present.

    Making Window Boxes

    June 11, 2018 /

    I’ve always loved the look of window boxes. I think they are really beautiful. Our house doesn’t lend itself to having window boxes, there is really only one window that would make sense, but one would look odd, plus I like symmetry. A lady contacted Jim to build her four window boxes, so I will have to live vicariously through her. Here is the picture she sent along to us.

    Kiln Shed: Siding Part 2

    May 25, 2018 /

    With the kiln roof on, now we deal with the blackflies and the raindrops, we managed to squeeze in a few hours to continue working on the siding on the kiln shed. I think I would rather work in the rain if I had to choose. Either way, we still had to finish one long side plus the gable ends. Working on the second pallet of poplar boards, we started with great optimism.

    Kiln Shed: Siding

    May 23, 2018 /

    I had to look back through our posts to see when we last worked on the kiln shed. Apparently my memory is not what it used to be. I thought it was just a couple of weeks ago. Turns out, it was back in April when we put the metal roof on. How time flies. With the good weather this week we plan to get the siding started and finished. There I said it. Here is the shed when we last finished working on it.

    Live Edge Floating Shelves

    April 9, 2018 /

    The weather this weekend meant working on indoor projects. So we decided to cross floating shelves off our list. A while back we picked out two live edge pine boards for this project. They had some drying to do since the kiln isn’t up and running yet.

    Kiln Shed: The Roof

    April 6, 2018 /

    For you it must seem like we are taking forever to build this shed, but for us it seems like we are moving along at a pretty good pace. Previously we added on the tarps and strapping. You must remember we are sharing the progress with you in real time. This is real rural life.

    We picked up the supplies we were short on this week and finished up the soffit, facia, and drip edge.
