Days 330-331: July 31-Aug. 1, 2008

We finished up the week with detail work, which seems to be pretty time-consuming but gives us little to report. Trimming, painting, switching interior doors around.

On Friday afternoon, Bud and I checked on the front door, which had been stripped of its white paint. (Why didn't I remember to take the camera?!) The peeling coats of paint were hiding the places that had been filled as locks and knobs were replaced over the past 100 years. Some knicks had been filled with plaster.

The furniture restorer said he's dealt with all of that before -- and the other pieces in his shop were beautiful, so we have lots of faith in him. The door's supposed to finished Wednesday. We can hardly wait!
