Maybe just me, I never forget the imperfections on my own work, I hope you can forget yours's.  The imperfections are a testament to your hard work. You learn from them and do better the next time!

Looking from the kitchen toward the living area ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/3NGNkh31/House-Interior-Living-Room-III.jpg) Detail of corner joints of plank walls. All scribe fit individually. The space between will get chinking to cover the screw attachments. It is intentionally not dovetail to allow access, if necessary. You cannot do that with dovetail ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Vv91ykYx/House-Interior-Living-Room-V.jpg) This is the dining room side wall before flooring. Same treatment as living area walls ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/xddKcXhP/House-Interior-Dining-Room-II.jpg)

Magnificent!
You and your bride should be most proud!
Post more!
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Great thread Diesel. What a story. I'm glad you decided to share it and look forward to the rest.
That looks like a fantastic spot. I love all that wood.
Congratulations!

I am getting impatient. I didn't help you learn to post pics for all those damn words. The words are great! :-)

Having built a few fireplaces in my life, that is really nice. I have my grandfather's firebox drawings showing flue details, throat dimensions, damper placement etc. Knowledge that is lost to the present world I fear.
The whole result is impressive, though that word is not sufficient as a descriptor, need one that incorporates great and bad ass in one. The planning required, satisfying a spouse and achieving a goal in itself is an achievement to be lauded.
Well done sir, and I look forward to further installments!

Well done sir, and I look forward to further installments! You should share those drawings in another thread so that the information is not lost. Im certain more than a few guys could use it.
