...make this colletion of 2x4s and 2x6s look like a "beam," connecting the old and "new" (1957) parts of the cabin.
I decided to spray paint the "beam" with the same dark brown that I had used on the window frames, but to leave the vertical supports undone for now, so my brother and his wife could have some input.
My intent was to acknowledge the color of the "old" (1930s or 1940s) log part of the cabin in the new room, while having the new room look more modern. I'll provide an "after" shot down the road.
Do you like making aesthetic decisions? I always have to give them some thought.

@andriaperry I've lived there for a whole Summer (a few times) back in my hay stacking days. But the cabin isn't insulated, so I'd probably freeze if I stayed there in the Winter.

I like reading about your improvements and getting some inspiration. I have some stuff in my head I would like to do it is just a matter of doing it.

@Tampa_girl7 I see a man with a hammer. What do you have him working on? Is he appropriately rewarded at the end of his day of labor?

@TheHorse I love it when I get creative and I get ideas as I am doing things.
