The Cabin is Changing

Our cabin has been needing some TLC for a bit so last weekend it got a bit of a color change, at least two sides did. Looks better in the summer when all the flowers are blooming. The swing on the porch is a back and butt buster, only good for short sits, so uncomfortable. 

This is how the cabin looked when we bought it back in 1999. It has an exterior coating that has been flaking and peeling off on the sides that get the sun and weather ever since. So not wanting to keep putting the same stuff on it we opted for an in the wood stain that repels and kills bugs such as termites, carpenter ants and borer beetles.

So next year the front will get sanded with an electric hand sander and stained.  

This is the new color that the cabin will be wearing for the foreseeable future. We also want to add stone to the two chimneys to add to it's rustic charm.

Yes it also needs a crap ton of landscaping. I've always like the light color that is on the front side of the cabin, but the stuff just doesn't hold up under the sun and weather. 

Looks more rustic with an old cabin feel from the outside now. 

That's it for today, so until next post..........

Take Care Everyone
