The Siding

And now for the siding. The siding was put on by Steve Stancliff, of Morrisville Vermont.
First, vertical sleepers were attached.

Then the siding boards were attached to the sleepers.

The boards are hemlock, all locally sourced and sawn by Heath Lumber.

The boards are "wavy edge" style. The logs were de-barked, and one side of the log was trimmed to provide a flat edge (the top edge). Then the boards were cut sequentially from the logs, with the bottom edge of each board left raw and uneven, as the edge of the log was.
