Redwood going vertical

It's great to see this old-growth redwood put to good use. And it's beginning to look less like a lumber yard all the time.

Much closer to what I had in mind

The tar paper looked alright, but this is really the look we were after.

Finally, we have the siding pre-stained.

The 21' dip tank made this process much easier.

Now it's time to get these boards vertical.

Staining that siding

The dip tank process for just under 5,000 square feet of old growth redwood siding
