Rebuilding our FRONT ENTRANCE Side Wall

Despite the looks of it, this seemingly simple wall may have been the single most frustrating on the whole house. It started with a simple irritation with the original shiplap wall. It wasn’t very wall constructed, and a centimeter or two was the only barrier between the inside and the outside. During the summer, we decided to work on this little wall as a happy little side project. Happy was not exactly the word I would use to describe it. Literally nothing went exactly the way we wanted. First, trying to retrofit the new back support in between 200-year old wood of different sizes, and of different settling levels was a nightmare. It took maybe 10 to 15 tries to get the back to fit right. Then each of the logs needed to be individually measured, cut and chiseled probably 10 times each to make it fit into place. Despite the shortness of this video and how quickly it seems to go up, it took several hours to complete just the wood. And then, there was the stain. We realized that the extra lumber we had gotten from our pergola build earlier in the summer was just the right dimension for this project. Since we got that lumber for free, we were thrilled. Except we didn’t account for lacquer and putty that would block the use of our normal aging, iron acetone stain that we have used elsewhere around the house. So after installation, we had to sand the entire thing in place. Poor Ladi had to deal with all the cracks and crevices, small details and edges, and of course, the battery to the grinder kept kicking out, for whatever reason. But in the end, we had fresh wood that would take the stain, to fit it better into the rest of the house. But then, of course, it didn’t stop there. After applying a heavier coat of the stain than we wanted, we found that we had missed many spots of lacquer and putty that didn’t take the stain nearly as well as we had hoped, leaving it stripped and splotchy. But it is what it is. All we do now is hope that the summer sun will grey it out, and hide the splotches. But, it can’t always go according to plan. We only have one thank you for this project: Ladi for hours of sanding. This was an annoying job and he did the best he could with the tools he had. Please enjoy!
