Cedar Nickel Gap Siding on Avrame Trio 120 - Episode 5

Hello friends! Thanks for following along as we build our dream Aframe in the mountains of Colorado! This week, we are putting on our exterior siding. We went with a vertical nickel gap cedar siding, and LOVE how it turned out!
We chose the exterior wood stain/sealer Golden Pine from Ready Seal. Honestly, we wanted the lightest stain we could find to keep it as close to natural cedar. This stain really showcased a lot of the beautiful cedar tones.
The highlight of the week in our opinion though was having guests over to use our tiny studio! We can't wait to continue filling this property with creative energy and wonderful people.

ABOUT US
We are a family of 4 + our pup Beirut + cat Ghost. Over the last 6 years, we have been traveling the United States to experience the beauty of this country and find land to build an artist retreat.
Our adventures began on a 48-state road trip in 2016 when Everly, our oldest, was two. In 2017, we bought our van, Edison-a 2016 Ford Transit. We converted it ourselves and spent an amazing three years of full-time travel trying to find where we wanted to grow some roots.
We picked Salida, Colorado for its beautiful landscapes, outdoor recreation, proximity to Monarch Mountain and artsy little town.
It's been a journey getting to this next chapter of building out the property, but we are finally here in 2023-building out our Aframe and putting together phase one of our creative retreat, which includes our tiny music studio and bus accommodation.

It be cool if you guys had trail cameras on your property and included parts of that footage. Even if it was only 30-60 secs of your video. Just a thought. I enjoy your videos😀👍🏻

Thank you! That’s a really great idea! We have a lot of deer that come through here and an occasional llama, haha.
