A center point emanating radial sunburst array of 2" light colored lodgepole pine over a darker stain background might look good over the door. Bookend for the loft railing.

Hi 👋 Patrick, good to be back on the job site with you. Don’t paint!! Live with it for a while. With the natural wood through out the cabin. Once you paint there’s no going back… at least not with a lot of hard work, just what you need is more hard work. Maybe a bit of Decor would be a way to start off the cabin. I know you don’t want to visually shrink the inside of the cabin and with paint that is a possibility 🤷‍♂️ I’m looking forward to seeing you again next week! Till then,You take care of yourself Patrick

I think having an accent wall would look great. It would tone down some of the wood.

Agree with some painting to break up the wood look!

Try weathered grey-Oh yes, they would call it "Accent wall"

No I like it

as you said earlier there are going to be gaps, cracks, joints and spaces in the floor so the black tar paper is a good idea, it is what people place behind reclaimed barn wood walls to make the spaces less noticeable

Do the walls with a white wash / pickled wood.

Looking good!! Personally, I like the natural look but agree on breaking it up a little. Maybe a colored stain that gives a little hint of color??

I would paint the bottom part, perhaps a barn red or some shade of green. Watched the eclipse here in Maine, incredible!

Cool!

I would stain and seal all the wood. it will break it up, give more texture and protect the wood from the elements.

When I was in high school/college I played T-Bone in a jazz band. We called our band "Saw". Our trumpet player also played football. During one of his games he got hit so hard that he lost his front teeth. I tell you this because I know first hand that missing teeth can severely affect the performance of a band saw. (Too much??? Sorry, I just thought you could use a good pun.) I just came in from working on my Train Room project. All the while I'm laboring I was thinking that it would be so nice to borrow your fast forward speed ability and get this chore over more quickly. I gotta say that it sure is neat to see you enjoy doing whatever comes your way. It gives me inspiration! Another excellent job done your way. If you are truly asking for guidance for paint or no paint...I suggest NO paint. I also understand that it's ultimately up to Karen (and you). Thanks again, see you next week.

Really nice flooring. Yes paint the wall, too much wood look. We have switched to using the red Rosen paper under floor, cheaper, doesn’t smell, stops the squeaks and thinner so no worries about overlapping. Try it sometime. We also usually run the floor on the short dimension perpendicular to the floor, gives the illusion the cabin is wider, just a design thought.

@LifeontheMoose

Ай бұрын

Thanks for the info! Couldn’t run the planks the other direction. Joists… I appreciate the comment! 🙏

The way I look on wood coatings is, if the wood is lovely do not stain, clear coat or oil, if the wood is bland, stain.

Stain it a light to medium gray. It will tie into all of the natural grey accents in the wood and won’t cover up its authentic beauty.

Rather than paint on a cabin wall I think doing the Shou Sugi Ban burn and color stain for the wall would be more authentic. Sever great videos on KZread for how to do it.
