So, I’m thinking of what color to paint the exterior of the house.  Our cabin is stained in a red, which is really nice, but I think I’d like something more vibrant.  I’m thinking soft yellow, with a white trim…. what do you think?  It would stand out nicely against all the green around us, and the colors on the living roof.

The windows are going in as we try to close up the house.  The thing that will take the longest is the cordwood.  But, if we can get the rest of the house closed up, we may be able to seal up the cordwood holes with plastic and get a wood stove in to heat the house.  Then we will be able to do more cordwood when it is cold.

Here’s another picture of the insulation.  This is upstairs, looking into the stairwell.

Here’s the wall to the right of the front door.  The little dots in the wall are glass nuggets.  We put a shelf in there (see the big rectangle piece of wood sticking out?)… maybe a little plant will sit on it once the house is done?

Here’s the dining room wall.

Here’s a close up of the cordwood above the dining room window.  I’m proud of me for that little sunny design 🙂

This is the wall to the right of the dining room window.  It was a very cloudy day when I took this pic.  You should see how that red bottle shines on a sunny day!!  We put another shelf in this wall too, and the bottle above it to let light through to whatever we put there.  We may put the glass chicken on one of these inside shelves.
