WOOD - Cabinets and Ceilings

Master Bedroom ceiling

Another great week of progress in Mountainbrook while I was in DC.  John's crew finished up installing the aspen ceilings in the living room and the master bedroom.  The wood has lots of cracks and knots that add interest to the ceiling.  Some of the color in the heart of the boards matches the color of the trusses.

Gary put up the two ceiling fans in the Living Room with John's help.  I wish I could have seen them up on the scaffolding, while it was shaking 20 feet in the air.  John labeled the movements, "sympathetic vibration", similar to what occurs in musical instruments.

 The crew finished the installation of the cabinets this week as well.  They are made of knotty alder, which adds to the wood species in the house.  We currently have alder, hemlock, aspen, douglas fir and hickory throughout the house.  Eli and Ashley gave Gary cabinet jacks for Christmas and they came in handy during the install.
