That's awesome Douglas. Definitely keep us updated. You're not living there while all this **** is going on, are you?

It was a gift, and we also circulate what's hanging from our collection. That one is recent, which is also why it isn't framed yet. I need to get around to doing that.

I've heard that there is a certain private chef who is also a master framer.

Nice start, Douglas. Are you replacing the turned spindles on the second floor railing with the squared off ones?

[Douglas]

Wow, lefty. That's an eye for detail.

Actually, both the turned ones and the square ones are original. Each wall of railing has a set of the turned ones in the middle, with squared ones on the sides. We are not changing them at all; just leaving it all as-is. I didn't love the turned ones at first myself, but they're original and part of the quirky charm of the place, and they don't bug me anymore.

 

[lefty]

Really? Surprised to hear that as they look like a fix and don't fit the house.

You just saved a few grand.

Glad to see an update on the place, Douglas. I noticed a shot of the driveway. The stones appear secure.
