10/16-10/22
It took a healthy portion of 6 days (less on work days) to wall the tree house. I opted to use a tongue and groove 1 x 8 knotty pine board in lieu of my originally planned 4' x 8' beadboard panels. I figured the deliberate install of one board, one after the other, would be easier on the solo installer (especially when it came to the ceiling) than hoisting the monster panels. Going with the individual install of boards also paid off when it came to cutting around gangboxes and fixture rounds. It certainly took longer than panels; but the end result can not be argued with. It looks really good!
My first wall...honing in my technique:
Creeping up the side walls:
Window cuts were easy. Negotiating the loft was a pain!
Wrapping the loft and the angled cuts on the sides of the shed inclined ceiling were also challenging:
Moving up the ceiling and cutting around a future fixture:
Finally! The end result! A knotty pine haven in the trees!
Some window / door trim and flooring are next! Stay tuned!
