Small thing #1: Stair banisters. Clear fir! Not shown: the trim around the doors is completed. Also not shown: work on the downstairs living room fireplace mantel is beginning.
Small thing #2: Cabinet hardware is installed. Curiously enough, some of it looks similar to the hardware we had in the old place. NO, we did not re-task the old hardware....yet....
Small Thing #3: In addition to the hardware, the upstairs counter-tops and bookshelves are installed. You may recall that the counter tops originally came in oak, even though the rest of the material is knotty alder. A little 'oops', corrected now, so the bookshelves could be placed as well.
Finally, the Small Thing that can grow. There are a couple of little green spears below Lisa's shoe. They are our dead meat lillys, coming up where they always have: in front of the house-that-was. We have been looking for them, wondering if they survived the destruction. We thought they probably had, because the bulbs normally want to be buried pretty deep, and the grade has not changed much in that area. Fortunately, they are NOT in the roadway. These appeared in one of my earliest postings on this blog. Their true name: Dracunulus Vulgaris. They look like a giant Calla lilly, with a deep blue-black flower and spathe: and a smell like rotting meat. Sometimes nature is not bashful when it comes to plant sex. Fortunately, that phase of their life doesn't last very long.
