Using various online photos and DIY descriptions, I laid these out and, with the help of two friends, built them. Woman Power! I think my total expense was about $400. I had pipe sections cut at the store and used pine stepping (nice and thick and has the bullnose) that I bought from my local hardware store (under $200). I degreased the pipe (did not paint it) and used a prestain (essential for pine) and stain on the wood, followed by linseed oil. I love the shelves!

This door was built with the same style of construction as barn doors were built 100 years ago. The siding is real wood siding and was painted with a linseed oil based paint. The light is an original barn light that was refurbished and outfitted with a photo cell.

The builder didn't prime both sides of the cedar, so this house has a chronic peeling issue due to interior moisture pushing off the stain. Most of three sides have been sanded bare, primed with linseed oil primers and coated with various stains. The last round was the Benjamin Moore's Arborcoat. A good 125 feet of siding has been replaced, as well as some of the rough 2x4 frame on the fireplace.

All walls, ceilings, trim were repainted. The wood in the sunroom was re-oiled with linseed oil. We also re-taped many seams and cracks throughout the house including the straight ceiling line you notice as you walk into the house. We used a custom made three foot sanding block to keep the edge between the flat and vaulted ceilings ceilings nice and straight.
