Cherylwood Forest's Castle



 
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.
