Ceiling Is Believing

One of these days I'll have you up to date on the little house in Metaline Falls.

Vince and Brett replaced our ceiling of blue sky with local 2 x 6 tongue and grove ponderosa pine. It feels good since that's our finished ceiling. I could tell they were having a good time putting it up because they were talking and singing with fake Scottish accents.

And just in case you think that all I do is walk around taking pictures, I helped put the felt on the part of the house where a ladder wasn't needed so that's done too.

Did I say windows? They're in too. Eagle brand milled aluminum (like the inside of a soda can) exterior and clear PRE-FINISHED!!!! (what a great idea) pine interior. It was love at first sight. It's fun to go in and out. Solid, like a vault. Ka-chung. Several of the windows are awnings. We ordered them because we liked the way they looked, not expecting any sort of performance, so when the airflow blew over Vin's half full coffee cup we were psyched. Where we don't have awnings, we have push-out casements. No cranks. They push out manually with a solid, old-fashioned European action (my words). Very chic.
