Starting the exterior cladding


A general view from the house as it is before the cladding.

While waiting for our pine tar resin to come, we borrowed some from our local neighbor wood dweller,  Marko.

Look at the effect on the wood / better than we were expecting! We love it!

Us at lunch, looking at the house and having fun!


Trying out the resin mixture and most importantly treating the end grains of the boards before we fitted them.

This image reminds me of the forest sprits and allows me to get in touch with the sacredness of trees and how grateful we are for the wood that we are building the house with.

Adam and Katja helped us Sunday afternoon, just before the rain and the cold comes again. We are again running with time because of the weather!


Board by board the wall grows! And you can see the difference between the wood that was treated and the boards that have no treatment at all.

This video shows how powerful is the nail gun. It was the last nail of this wall!
