shutters

Early this week, I painted the log siding and the opposite wall siding.  The picture gives it a bluish cast but it is really a dark brown color (see the rafters picture below for a better representation of the color).  On Wednesday this week, Dad installed shutters on the side windows.  He also put some extra bracing on the floor joists but you can't really see that.

Today, Caleb and John came out and installed our tin roof.

After they were finished, I painted the rafters the same color as the log siding.  Then I put primer on the siding on the front, below the log siding and on several of the trim pieces.  Everything that is white will likely be another color.  I'm planning to use up four colors of leftover porch paint from another project on the treehouse.
