Lev secretly wants to be a house painter. I’ve known this for a while, but the evidence is mounting. He was VERY excited to develop some custom stain for the cedar siding that will go on the tower and the soffits —

But I have to say, in the end it came out looking terrific! Here are some of the boards stained and ready for install —

And here’s the first batch of siding installed at the front soffit —

Kinda dark in this photo, but trust me — it looks great!
