Top of the page, so here is where we are kind of going with this: Before I started the actual build, I did a little decorative work on the lumber stock. 22 six foot fence planks, 10 or different Marq inspired patterns
Chopped in half make all i need for exterior lower sections on the two visible walls Next were the front eaves done in Maori swirls Then two maori 10' entry way poles Two 10' back wall poles Now on to the actual build, phase two, the lower half... Poured myself a wild Cherry Pepsi in a glass and got to work. I put the floor boards around the cemented beams back on and started laying wood I carved a Moai profile on the ridge beam I decorated a few more 4 x 4's with some simple designs and started placing those. You can just barely see Hiltiki in the background staining the poles I just decorated. It was stain and install... Fun part started here: Putting the lower walls and window sills up Moai head stained: Creeping around the front with the patterned boards and table bar window sills Some more staining help and I finished the last two lower walls Nice, pretty box Little more color, and the lower part is done!
Couple weeks, and it's roof time... |
