As wonderful as this house is that we moved into, and as beautiful as the unfinished wood siding is, there are some problems. For one thing, since the siding wasn’t finished or preserved there are places where it’s suffering some damage. I figure that eventually the owners will want to cover it with vinyl siding so the house will last longer. But they will still have to make some repairs before they do that.

I wonder if there is a vinyl siding that gives the board-and-batten look of wood that this house has now? It really suits the style of the house and the woodsy location out here in the country. Nevertheless, this house is a treat to come home to after work. It’s my sanctuary.

The kitchen isn’t large but it has loads of counter and cabinet space in its “U” shaped configuration. The counter nearest the dining table doesn’t have any cabinets under it. Instead, it’s open shelving. And since there are also no suspended cabinets over it, you get a sense of roominess in the open look of the entire great room. It goes from the kitchen to the far end of the living room with great space for dining, for living room furniture, and is really conducive to get-togethers, as we proved on Memorial Day!
