Today Steve and I bundled up in the cold wind to continue putting up the siding. We spent about 6 hours out there finishing the west side of the barn. It is coming out quite beautifully. Putting that siding up is giving the barn a look of completion. While Steve nailed, I measured and cut the siding to length.
There are two window openings on this side, so I had to be sure to cut the siding around the window areas. Unfortunately the windows were covered in several feet of snow, so some of my day was spent digging a path to them then uncovering them from the blanket of snow.
We experienced sustained winds this day of 12 miles an hour. Making the biting cold get into the bones. Even after being in for several hours that evening, I could not pull myself away from the roaring fire. So I spent the evening working with some rovings on my spinning wheel. Spinning with fiber, that is an entry for another day. Again, got so busy with the farm work, forgot to take some finished pictures. I will t ake some this week and try posting them.
