My friend Damon came from Vancouver with his ‘Contractor Ambulance’ to give me a hand for the weekend. You should have seen the mobile workshop that appeared around my little house!
It soon became very apparent to me, had he not come, I would have been once again a ‘damsel in distress’ surely the job would have taken me 2 weeks. First thing he got me to do is take out a strip of my ceiling insulation! This corner didn’t have anything to grip a screw into whichc had to be remedied.

When Kai and I replaced the walls and roof at the far end, Kai reinstated the roof’s original arch. The door end has kept its arch and the middle is all wonky and flattened out, so all in all another challenge to deal with. The professional lined out our options to go with and of we went to Home Depot to buy OSB to line the entire ceiling with, this way we had a solid surface to nail into throughout. Day 1 we ended with pinning the first row of tongue and groove and for me a lot of excitement and a tired body.
Day 2 we launched right into the tongue and groove, Damon put me to the job of pinning while he chopped the boards into length. Once we got towards half way tension started building and the cedar planks needed Damon’s oomph to stay in place while I pinned them. I thought considering the wonkiness, we had to do not much adjusting. It just looks fantastic!
