Wood Grain, and Share Requests

Work today started late and ended early: a two-man crew, and rain at either end of the workday (and again now, for that matter). It wouldn't look to anyone else like they got much done, but they actually made some progress. One of the guys wanted to pull the existing lintels down and sand them; when the sander was insufficient, he went home and got his planer. Up there, you can see the result. There's a reason why it's called "red fir." The wood has an incredibly beautiful color and grain.

At any rate, all of the ground-floor lintels are planed, treated, and installed, save for those over the big bay windows. Those will come tomorrow, if the weather cooperates, and they still plan to be on the bond beam by the end of the week. 

We still need daily shares: first, of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code from the box at lower right, which gives you this:

And second, of Wings's site, which is what pays the bills and also helps fund construction. Incidentally, he's got some new pieces coming out later this week, so watch his site and this space.

I'm beat, and I have a lot to do yet tonight, and a very long, labor-intensive day ahead of me tomorrow. I probably won't be online much between now and tomorrow night. But profound thanks to everyone who's given us a hand thus far. I'm plodding away at my to-do list, including more formal thank-yous, as I can cadge the time This is a long-haul project, and we're in one of the slogging phases right now..
