Wow, fall is at its peak up on Big Hill, and I don't remember seeing one any prettier than this. The Spanish oaks and Scrub oaks are red and orange and yellow, and the flaming sumac is a rainbow of autumn hues.
The cabinets are fully installed, and most have been stained. They are very well made- Dad will most certainly approve the craftsmanship when he comes to inspect, er, visit. I chose colonial maple for the kitchen, pantry, wash room and library, and I absolutely love the results. Tonya is the one who pointed me to an orange-ish tone, and after seeing them them told me I need to varnish them with a gloss, to really differentiate them from the more earthy and matte finishes of the stone.
The sky deck is almost complete. Mike and Tim will start on the stair steps Monday. I climbed up the 30-foot ladder last week after everyone left so I could get a feel for how high it will seem. It is aptly named.
I am extremely frustrated by my lack of stone work. I actually have a mason on stand by, ready to go if Johnny can't get started next Monday. He is still working on a job that has taken much longer than he expected. This is really throwing Mike's schedule off. And mine! I'd like to move in!
We had a multi-church community Thanksgiving service tonight. It was quaint and funny and all in all a great reminder of what a wonderful place Glen Rose is to live. I am thankful to be here.
