Now, EPB, you can’t see the blue walls peeping out through the holes. So, Heather Here and I took the lazy gals’ way out, and we painted the wall behind the holes with little paint brushes!!

The Miller tacked the boards up and told me I could remove them, paint behind them, and put them back. I could have painted the wall a brown color first, but I am very lazy, so I didn’t do that. He then mills them into usable lumber.īut let’s talk about the cypress on the wall where someone pointed out that the old wall can be seen through the holes. In the case of this wood, The Miller, husband to DS, finds old cypress trees that were felled by natural causes and pulls them out of the river. Some of these cypress trees, as old as 300 years, can sit on the bottom of a river or bayou after having strayed from the lumbermen. Please be advised, that no trees were recently cut down in order to provide me with this pecky for the Cypress Cottage. It seems that we are in need of some education about this beautiful and versatile wood.
