While spending a week in Utah for Christmas our homestead was in need of a house sitter. The second half of the week my friend Greg D. whom I met at College of the Redwoods through the Historic Preservation and Restoration program stayed here and fed our animals. Now we are working together on a project for a clients mud room.

| Acclimating Cypress |
From Almquist Lumber we acquired three slabs of cypress about 13 feet long and varying in thickness from 3 inches down to inch and three quarter. The width of the slabs varied also from about 13 to 16 inches. For two days now we have been cutting into the slabs getting all the pieces we will need for the project. Stacks of stickered cypress are acclimating and today we will begin cutting joinery for the face frames and the pieces will start to take shape.

The air temperature has warmed up but I do wish rain was in the forecast! This is the driest year on record for this region. The days now get longer and I look forward to the days when the sun rises above the tops of our cypress trees that shade the shop this time of year.
