Harry admires the queen post as he unwraps the timbers.
More unwrapping as he works his way toward the king post.
Free of wrappings, the beauty of the hammerbeam construction is revealed.
Harry goes to any lengths to get that last bit of tape off the timbers.
Erik fits the cedar around windows, the door and joistsas he finishes the west face of the entry.
For months, the timbers, wood plank ceilings and windows were wrapped to protect them from drywall taping, plaster and paint spray. (Beams Harry and I haven't seen since the topping off more than a year ago!) Yesterday, it was like unwrapping a big present as the beauty of the timbers and craftsmanship were revealed. Harry enjoyed working on the scaffolding where he could get up close and personal with the lofty beams and appreciate the intricacies of the timber framing.
Erik worked outside, finishing up the cedar siding on the west wall of the mud room/main entry.
Now that the painting is done, and the exterior siding is nearly finished, everyone is looking forward to finishing up the inside.
