I Love The Siding

The siding is a lot of work, but it really gives detail to this little house. Every piece (65 on the front) is ripped, milled at 5 degrees, rabbit cut on back side, 1/4 inch radius edge, and sanded. After priming is complete, these panels will be ready to move and install. Everything is under wrap because of the rain.

Time For Some Siding

Amber said ok to the facade. We will put on the siding, prime it twice, and take the panels over, assemble them, shingle the roof, paint the exterior, and start the interior finish. Amber has her decorations ready!

Amber Said Yes!

Amber likes the look. I started the front details today. There will be a few more details not seen in the drawing. I'm loving this weather, but it gets dark too soon. This is going to be a really cool building!

"The Pirate Princess Beach House"

Amber and the kids have chosen the name for their new playhouse. "The Pirate Princess Beach House"
They have picked some really cool colors for the painting.

These drawings have been sent to Amber for her approval. Check back and see if this will be the facade on this little house.

This Little Beach House Is Getting Heavy!

The sheathing is on the panels. It holds everything square. Next is the siding. It is the most intricate part of the project, but it separates this little house from the rest. Seeing the house on the ground is not as exciting as in the air, but this will get it to "Little Elm" where we can install it!

Ready To Start Millwork

After assembling the structure to make sure everything was a good  fit, I broke it down into panels that will get sheathing installed on them. Now the fun starts! Everything will be handmade. The siding will be 3 1/2 inch wedge. The windows will be wooden, and operable. Everything will be oil primed first, acrylic primed, and then two topcoats of Sherwin Williams Emerald. We want this little house to be as durable as possible. Check back now and then to see our millwork progress.
