clean top surface. The plastic/wood pieces are all T&G.
All of the vaulted ceilings on the main and second floors are T&G smooth side cedar. In the great room, the cedar was continued down the
walls just below the clerestory wall windows.
This photo was taken one month after the photo below. Things change up here very quickly. As of Jan.1st, 2006 the snow level is about 4 feet
on the island.

loop spacing is about 4.5 inches and the interior area spacing is about 10 to 12 inches.
