Meanwhile, back inside

Work has not ceased indoors, although most of the excitement is outside.  We've been working on the second floor closets.  The interior walls are all aromatic cedar, which was harvested and milled within 20 miles of our job site.  The exterior walls are white oak, again locally harvested and milled.

This is the closet wall, seen from the outside, with the interior cedar surface complete.

This is the same wall, from the inside.  You can see the incredible color and grain of the aromatic cedar

This is the exterior, white oak surface of another closet.

We used an alternating lap at the corner, which creates an interesting pattern in the wall.

 

This is an interior corner, at a wider angle, exaggerating the alternating pattern.
