    Looks great. There is a lot of satisfaction knowing that this great looking wall started as a tree from your own property. Lots of work with lots of reward.

    Down here in the southern states we have a pine bettle that kills thousands of tress every year and at one time they were left in the forrest to rot . A sawyer cut some into boards a furniture maker saw it built some pieces called it DENIM PINE now it is some of the most expensive pine on the market. Y'all do pretty work

    Greg and Katie, its just beautiful! I see the love in Gregs eyes for his Katie and it spurs him on to have a castle when done. And guess what, any king would be proud to do this very thing for the queen. Those goats are really just rebellious children with how their raised. Gunnies are the best watchdogs in the world as a mouse could run through the yard and they set off clucking in their own sounds they make... can't wait for next installment hardly!!

    You did very nicely with your ship-lap wall areas. Looks great! The 4" and 6" variations add to the ambience. Nicely thought out and designed. Congratulations. However, from the fire-spread prevention aspect, those areas should have firstly been clad with the normal chalk-based wall cladding to help prevent fire spreading from one room to another after burning through that wooden cladding, then put your ship-lap over that. I do not know what your building regulations and fire insurance requires, but in New Zealand, it is compulsory to have the chalk cladding first on all internal walls. Wet areas have a water-resistant variation of that cladding, in case of leakages.
