Monday, Week 7

If you have ever attempted to miter a corner, you can imagine the challenge that faced the carpenters today in trying to miter a corner on a rope trim! Nearly impossible. It may, in fact, require some hand carving to smooth the outside corners and has already required some caulking. Unfortunately, the caulk is not the color of the cabinets so it may also require a little dab of paint later. Details, details.

The larger rope spindles frame the sink cabinet and appear to be in good proportion to the overall trim.

Tomorrow we have painters. The final coat of paint and the dangerous decision about the laundry. I will, or already have, asked the painters to add just a touch of the dark green to the ivory in the laundry room to echo that color. If it's awful - big deal - we will just have to paint it again.

Wednesday I will take a day off to play bridge and see real people.

Thursday will be exciting because the countertops are coming. Then I expect the kitchen to start looking like it will be finished someday. Still no word on when the backsplash will be done or by whom. The drywaller needs to be scheduled first and I haven't heard about that either.
