Cabinets and SNOW
Richard Schwartz and Bill Crawford, cabinetmakers par excellente, did manage to get in with the cabinets as the snow fell. I arrived about a half hour after they did and had very little time to chat. The crew unloaded the cabinets and drawers admidst ohhs and awwws and acolades. They are truly works of art.
I tried taking pictures of both of them and got a blurry one of Richard but Bill turned his head just as I snapped the shutter, so I got a picture of the back of his head.

The crew had stayed up until 9:30 PM last night working. The tile in the Great Room is down. It is better than I had imagined it would be. I love the margins where the floor tile marries up with the stone of the fireplace.
Where tile meets stone. I love the textures and colors
James was upstairs painting on primer. Mikey was making baseboards upstairs. Jack wandered around looking for some one to play with him.

Johnny was clearcoating doors and lightly sanding between layers. He could hardly contain himself from wanting to clearcoat drawer fronts. There is a before and after photo.

For maybe 20 minutes the sun came out and I said: Here comes the sun. The crew spontaneously broke out with a chorus of “Here come the sun, little darling. It’s been a long cold, lonely winter. Here comes the sun. It feels like years since you’ve been here.
Mikey and I had a conversation about letting the house freeze in the winter, which I plan on letting it do. Or at least prepare as if it will freeze. It is a topic that has caused me much to ponder about in the middle of the night. The big thing we need to avoid is mold and getting a damp smell permeating everything. I think I finally concluded that I will leave two or three wall heaters (very energy efficient) going at about 45 degrees, all three ceiling fans working and a dehumidifier in action – if we can figure out a way to get the water from the condensed moisture to drain outside in such a way that the out-take pipe doesn’t freeze. I’ll be curious to see what the electric bill will be. Mikey is now reassured. He loves this Project.
Todd and Bobby promptly started installing cabinets. I sat about mostly in awe of the cabinets. I’ll pick out drawer pulls this weekend.

About noon Parr Lumber delivered the stringers and more concrete for the deck and left immediately. It started with a rain/snow mix and quickly became very earnst about snowing.
Deck stringers and concrete arrive. Parr delivery man promptly burns rubber to get off the mountain and the snow falls.
I pulled out about 12:30, taking the Trillium Lake road out. By the time I reached the summit snow was sticking on the asphalt and I went down the mountain at about 40 mph. No one passed me until I got to Rhodedendron. I paused for lunch at Calamity Jane’s and drove the rest of the way home in the rain.
We’ll have to wait and see if we can get back in on Monday.
Это было и со мной. Можем пообщаться на эту тему. Здесь или в PM….
