What a difference a day can make! Look at the screen! I LOVE IT TO PIECES!!!!!!!!! It makes me sooo happy!
It looks a little slat-slat-slat-block-slat-slat-slat-block, which is better than jail cell floor-to-ceiling-slat, however staining should bring out the true slat-over-slat-over-slat-over-slat-ness of the screen (this 'sentence' would make more sense if you could see my hand gestures). The carpenter used glue and brad nails...he will fill each nail hole and make it disappear.
Its soooooo incredible!!!!!!!...
I hope I am not the only person in the world who thinks its ah-mazing...I fear it could be the type of thing where the next owner, or
Vern Yip, says "nice house, too bad about that awful waste of lumber downstairs"
Speaking of lumber, the contractor ordered about five times too much of it...do they take returns? I shouldn't have to pay for unused supplies, right? This could work out to be pretty substantial savings. (Update, there is a fee to return it, so savings were not so substantial, oh well)
In other news, the painter was here for half a day ...
No idea when we will be finished...
