Lining
Walls & Our First Door
31 August 2004
We are now at the stage where we'll be finishing off the single storey section
of the house,
shown here through the door from the entry hall.........................
............ so we can move in and then get stuck into finishing off the larger
part,
shown here through the other door from the entry hall.
It was exciting to see the first door swinging in its doorway - even if there
were no walls either side!
No - we haven't used spotty timber! I thought I'd just sweep the floors
before I took a photo of our first timber wall (one more of my 'bright' ideas)
The timber is recycled messmate floorboards which we bought from Mark Kenny
in Healesville.
This is the opposite wall and you can see (no spots this time!) the lovely
gum vein markings.
This is the bedroom (which will eventually be a book bindery.
For this room we have just used plain old pine lining - but it still has beautiful
knots.
We will give these walls a light stain to prevent it from yellowing.
This is our second door and leads into the bathroom.
