To be honest, I was looking forward to installing the door the most, because I knew it would mark the final stage of the exterior construction — and that kept me very motivated. I tried to keep the design simple, yet beautiful, and I hope it turned out that way.
I will install proper locks a bit later, so for now I made a temporary wooden handle from a piece I found in the forest. I think it fits the overall style perfectly.
I’m really happy to finally move on to the interior work, as the most challenging part of building the house is now complete. It feels incredibly motivating to reach this stage.
During the process, I also decided to collect some birch sap. To preserve it for longer, I boiled it and sealed it in jars — it will be a perfect refreshment for the hot summer days ahead.
I’ll soon begin working on the interior, so expect a new episode coming soon.
