Mucho Mulch





We got a beautiful pile of mulch (we've got a lot of mud to cover!) from the C & M Sawmill, where we ordered hemlock to do our siding. We're going to do board and batten siding - vertical boards, also called barn siding. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there's a lot of hemlock that's been cut down because of the pest the woolly adelgid. It turned out to be the most economical option for us, and we think we'll like it better than the other choices we had considered, stucco or hardiplank.
We've been working on the office and Jackie's studio - we had a ladder/stairway built to get up to the loft.
And Deco supervises from her doggie bed!

your woodstove makes me want one... except we'd have to burn our pressure-treated fence because we live in the 'burbs. Maybe someday :)

No burning toxic pressure treated anything! When you come to visit, we may not be able to use the stove, since it's not baby-proof!
