Siding, siding and more siding to come!

It has been a busy few weeks for Chuck and the guys as they get as much prep work done before our helpers come to put the house up.

This week the planer parts arrived that we needed to fix the thickness planer but as it started to work on just a few boards, it broke again.  We had ordered extra parts just in case but the part we needed was the one part that didn’t come!!!  Thankfully we have been able to temporarily fix it so it will work to get some work done until the 2 guys come from Lion’s Head, Ontario, next weekend.

So here is what Chuck has been working on.  This is siding for our house.  It is a lot of wood to be milled down. 

The spot that is empty also was full of boards but they were working on it when I took the picture.  Plus there is still about another 500 board feet that is still to be delivered!!!

Here is a glimpse of some of the wood that has already been milled and cut to size for the house.  There are many piles under the house of wood to be used.
