Bits and Pieces

There hasn't been much to report for the last several weeks. The finish carpentry (by others) will be done in the next couple of weeks. That is, finishing the new hardwoods on main and top floors. The stairway will be completely redone with hardwood treads, painted risers, painted skirting boards, newel posts and stained balusters. It should be very nice.

We've spent a lot of our energy the last several weeks on one of the cats. Mosa was diagnosed with kidney and thyroid disease. The issue is to get enough food into her that she doesn't burn it off within a couple hours. She is getting fed many times a day but we need to monitor it because if we just leave it out (the wet food that she can manage), then Joe, the 18-lb gorilla cat, will eat his AND hers. She seems to be slowly recovering - we'll know more after a followup with the vet on Friday.

Finally, L is doing the window and door trim himself and I have a sample to show you. This is the inside of the Master Bathroom door and I think it looks GREAT. The door will eventually be stained as well, not as dark as the trim. I think it looks crisp and vintage and it makes SO much difference in how the place will look.
