Hiding From Half Timber

At least the wood work for the half timber, on the outside is finished.

As soon as I started, the house got strangely quiet... No Tessie.  No Zar.  Not even a Spike!

They all detest half timbering and I don't really blame them.

I finished all three sides whilst listening to some guy on the travel channel looking for the lost city of gold. 

I was more successful than he was.  As far as I know, he is still wandering around Peru.

The next step is to make the rest of the panels look stained and messy, like the area around the chimney.

On this side of the building, I am going to put an area for excess wood.  Covered and off the ground.  I wouldn't want all of Zar's precious wood to get ruined.

Anyway, I am on a roll and should get back at it before the mood leaves me.

Back to work.

See you tomorrow.
