a very long thank-you: the flooring has arrived

Feels like progress - the flooring has arrived. White oak suited our needs, our taste, and our budget. Now it has to sit here for a few weeks and acclimate to the humidity levels in the house before it is installed. That's fine, because there's so much more to do. We'll try to post pictures of the stucco that is transforming the old basement walls. And the basement walk-out doors - hand-made by William - are just gorgeous. THANK YOU ALL for making it possible for us to turn our housefire into a wonderful creative opportunity for the whole family.

Next time I'll try to post some of Masha's wood carving.
