Almost there-


Javier said 7am....and he meant it.

He shows up with 2 guys and just gets after it! One guy wrapping pipe, one running duct, himself measuring the vents out...leaving me to cut the out of these floors.




One nice thing about cutting out parts of the floor is the scrap blocks that are created. I sanded them down and Sandy tried a couple of different Poly's on them. We want to re-do the finish on them and get them back to natural. Here are the tests that she did.

The original is on the far right.

The far left is some ebony stain I tried.

All and all it was a great day. The system held 300lbs and Jon will be able to run it as soon as our electrician gets to hooking up some volts! All of the vents are in, the ducts wrapped, and the machines in place. The summer will be somewhat pleasant within these stone walls.

Oh yeah. Sandy started another project while she was waiting for the rain to stop and for me or Javier to give her a project. She took down all of the ceiling tiles upstairs.....and started to pull wall paper. Oh Boy...Wall Paper!

The wood floors at the Stover compound are being sanded and finished this weekend. All are invited for training, sympathy, whatever is needed.
