Our little house in Maine.

Almost as if the snow on the roof and steps is a layer of icing.

Haha, I agree, like a big gingerbread house.

It was the totally smooth and even thickness of the snow that got to me.

Nice! Can you share more photos? Looks cozy as hell

I will do another post in a couple weeks once the wood floors are in!

Did you build this yourself? The deck is clearly new but the rest looks new or nearly new too. I'm gonna need the floor plan.
Or you could just let me come visit

Yes, we started in 2019. Built the deck and did the siding this summer. It is 14x24 (+ the utility room in back) with 10ft walls and a vaulted ceiling with a sleeping loft over half.

What town are you in? Just wondering because I grew up in Maine

We are in the foothills/ Rumford Area.

Oh ok, that’s a beautiful part of the state

Oh my gosh. I absolutely love your little house in Maine!

Love it. Did you use Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese wood burning technique) on the siding? It looks beautiful.
We did! Good eye. We burned tongue and groove pine with a big propane torch, brushed them with a nylon brush, washed them, and applied a deck sealer. Each board took over 30 minutes of labor.
Definitely looks like it was worth the effort. It came out great!
So worth it! My first thought was “holy shit that siding looks good!” Have fun with the flooring!
