My first attempt at a faux wood finish (window). In other news...all the paneling is stained, the front door is painted and I'm starting on cabinets.

do you have any trim detail planned for the seams and edges of the paneling?
just spent a few days building a website, and didn't know that it could be so physically taxing to sit and do nothing all day!

You need to ask? Yep lots of trim. I'm guestimating about $500 worth.

ScottA, Those cabinets look great! Id like to build my own to save money and its something I could do over winter while waiting for it to warm up. Is there a website or book you used to help you ,or is it your own knowledge? are they made using plywood?

I built the cabinets from memory from others I've looked at. Just kinda made it up as I went along. These are made from white pine. The base cabinets will be birch plywood with white pine faces.

Nice cabinets, Scott.  My favorite - solid wood.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Dang! Scott's even got the telephone in there.    ;)

I'm very curious about the OSB inside the house -- I've never seen that before.  ???

That's because it's always hidden under something else.  ;)  Ya' never see it on the outside either, or at least you shouldn't.    :o

Looking good Scott.  What are your plans on the countertop and backsplash?

As a former builder (framer and human backhoe) I mean I really have never seen that before.  From the ground up builds etc etc....just was wondering about it.  I've noticed others doing it too.

Of course if you go back over 50 years it was common to have walls that had more materials in them and were thicker/stronger then today's (I know 'cause it was hard to tear some of them apart when I was in the reno biz) but it got me thinking.

Anyway, we dry-walled to the studs over vapor barrier in our addition and in the cabin I plan to go with my interior the same way.

Scott had his reasons which I can not recall, but they seemed reasonable at the time.  I'm certain he'll set us both straight and get us in line.  :-[  Me anyways.

I thought it was because he is laying that thin veneer over everything inside.  Mahogany?  Can't remember, but maybe its for something else? d*

The OSB is a backer for the mahogany veneer. The countertop will be stained concrete and the backsplash tile.

Scott I have some sites on concrete countertops that might help if you haven't gotten any reference material. Let me know and I will PM them to you.

John, why don't you post the links you have, under a new topic maybe?

I thought he just had to nail together some 2x4 form's and call a transit mixer.   [crz]

Interesting -- and makes sense.

Funny though how you don't normally think of it for that (ok I don't) but why not?  Did you use 7/16? or thinner?  Just curious becuase that might make a good backing for fire rock hearths?
