Yep, I've seen a flake or two in my time.... Thanks again.

Started framing out the windows on the front wall.

Country: USA | Posts: 1560 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/28/2012 :  11:21:55 AM         Thanks indeed Frederic, I wouldnt have quite gone as far as perfect myself, however, that is a compliment I will gladly accept from you. Thanks also Chuck. I'm still really leaning the technique, and figuring out the nuances. Maybe one day I will have enough focus to just pick out and use the best pieces for a structure, and also use them more appropriately placed. I think I would only end up using 1 in 10 boards though..... if I were to be as selective as I need to be for a good result. I suspect I would only be able keep my attention high enough and long enough to do one wall. Time for the windows on this one though for now.

I just do as I'm told....ha. Time to go play in the garden for a while as the weather is so nice. Thanks for looking, catch y'all later. Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6391 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/28/2012 :  1:32:40 PM         I think I'll change out this window header... it blends in too much and I'd like it to be more 'distinctive'.... even though it will be under the awning and barely seen. It will be a quick swap out for my own peace of mind. I was also going to swap out the two boards in the middle of the wall due to the sloping joint between them, however this will be covered by the hotel sign so I'm gonna let that slide. Glad I got that off my chest... Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6391 LaRueD Crew Chief Posted - 01/28/2012 :  1:36:41 PM     WOW!

I added in the door and window frames for the second wall this morning and then the windows. Time for a quick test fit to check how things are shaping up... Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6391 onl26 Fireman Posted - 01/29/2012 :  4:08:31 PM     Shaping up nicely YM. Now it's time to get the boys going with the disc sanders and get that siding taken down to bare wood! OM Country: USA | Posts: 1283 Paul Smulders Engine Wiper Posted - 01/29/2012 :  4:20:07 PM     Well done Karl, the walls look great. Is that strip wood you're using for the corner trim...?
