Made a fresh batch of paint this morning and got a few more boards installed.

Got the Tyvek installed and the lower skirt board and drip edge. Also started milling a ship lap onto the pre-existing boards and painting them up as they go on.

Did a little mock-up of the siding boards and window trim today. Going to cut a ship lap edge into the old siding boards so there’s a better seal against the rain. They’ll be painted with a homemade paint made of linseed oil, iron oxide, iron (II) sulphate, water and rye flour.

Making progress on the east wall. Removed the existing structure and have framed in the new wall and built the new window frames for the salvaged wood window sashes. First time building a window frame from scratch. Was a bit tricky for sure. My only reference materials are some PDF I got off the web and a 1923 reprint of a carpenter’s handbook. Neither of which have actual instructions, just diagrams.

My Studio Kit* arrived today! *some assembly required.
