I was very disappointed that the contractor did not come back for three weeks now. There was no answer on his phone for a while, but then I did get through to him and asked where he has been (obviously not at my place). He said he has stomach cancer and was doubled over in pain, then went to the hospital and they immediately shipped him to the Edmonton cancer clinic and he has been there ever since. He indicated that he hoped to be back to work on Monday, tomorrow and his priority will be to finish the porch and build the quonset, for which he is already paid. I bought a wood stove for the quonset so if I want to work on something there, I can do so in the winter too. I am sorry for him, and also wish that my projects were completed. Also, for animals, there will be a pen in one section where they can come in out of the cold if they need to. If I was smarter, I could figure out a way to pipe out some of the heat to the sheep house.
Anyhow, I did manage to put the primer oil on the cedar siding of the porch today and tomorrow, hopefully, will be able to complete the rest and start the stain/finish. The products I am using are made in Germany and imported by Bioshield Paint in the USA. They are not made of petroleum, but from plants and trees, and are biodegradable. The stains contain earth pigments for colours. It is a pleasure to work with these products and the inhalation of such presents so much less damaging vapours than conventional wood stains used more commonly in North America. How does it look so far?
