Building a stick frame house in the woods in 90 days

[Beltman60]

I guess I did it all wrong
I sanded, stained and urethane my t&g before putting it up



It seemed to work out nicely and I would hate to be on a ladder or scaffolding trying to sand & stain

:laughing: Not at all, especially when you nail correctly. Very nice stuff. :thumbsup: I'm guessing the Pete's homebuilder wouldn't dare trust that pretty stuff with his subs )

You know the butt-joint patrol, is going to be on your arse with one of the pics, right? :laughing:

(there's a buncha jokes in there, somewhere. )

it's just a lake cabin that I thought t&g would be a nice touch
after all if I had someone do it I don't think I could have afforded it to do it in the first place
the wife's happy so guess what
I'm Happy

I'll have to remember that the next time I post pix I'll need to scan over them better

"Just a lake cabin"...looks great! You know, you are now obligated to post at least one "finished" pic of that interior, right? :laughing:

Jay, would it be acceptable to use a biscuit joiner on the butt joints?

We never sanded our Oregon cedar wood ceiling. Never finished it either and it gave a nice non-reflective softness to the room.

Different species of wood, different aging results when unfinished.. Different price as well.

outside not finished with the deck seal

inside kitchen area (again not quite finished)

I ended up wrapping my beams with the T&G and think it really looks pretty good
projects that are 3 1/2 hrs away from where you live tend to take some time

That is some absolutely beautiful looking stuff, Belman. :thumbsup:
