I think progress, invention or
production should have been Kevin's middle name. I am in awe of the
imagination, determination, time, energy, and sore muscles this man
puts in for me.....the castle that Kevin
built.
.....2 sides of the house are now
clothed in wood siding, hand tongue and grooved by Kevin and router
The fresh blanks were then blanched with bleach eliminating uninvited
mold. Then all set into place
by hand.
We decided to stain the wood rather
than paint so took a long visit to Lowe's to pick a color. After
drooling over several handfuls of paint chips, I fell in love with
a dignified plum and Kevin got busy concocting..... several 5 gallon
buckets of mineral spirits and a secret ingredient list....just
enough color to bring out the wood grain and give it that dusky
evening shade of purple. I think it will be gorgeous with the green
tin roof.
No homeowner associations or covenants
for us!
As you can see the house and carport
now meet at the breezeway. We were thinking about a mote............
….........all for now.
