Your home looks stunning, these projects are such a great learning process, thank you for sharing.. larch is a wonderful cladding choice, I agree with the advice not to treat, let nature do it’s thing.

That’s really kind of you, thank you! I’ve done cash in hand labour and landscaping and things before for fancy folk so it still feels like I’ll be handing this over to someone when the work is finished. Reckon it will take a good few months of being in there to truly believe it’s ours and not some kind of long let air bnb we’ve stumbled upon!
Working over on the mainland today and just waiting for the boat home, hoping for more of that gable end being clad when I get back.

Oh it’s just amazing, isn’t it?! The grain on some of the lengths are out of this world! Going to use offcuts for the kitchen cabinet doors too.
They’ve started on one of the gable ends of the workshop, really strong winds again so that was the only side they could hide from it haha.
They’ve also figured out the seam between the cement board and the larch which I think is pretty lovely..
@TW thanks so much, we’re getting there.. we’re not doing anything with it, everyone we’ve talked to says don’t start treating or you’ll never finish doing it..” looking forward to it greying!
