This is working out!

So, I drove by the house today to see what Dave worked on today.  Yesterday, I had discovered that Riverside Lumber carries and stocks cypress moulding, so I was able to get some casing that dave could use to rebuild the window framing in the entry doors.  To my surprise, when I drove by the front door was hung!  (Remember, you can click on the pictures to see bigger, clearer copies!)




I am REALLY pleased by the way this door turned out.  The back door is on the worktable, ready to hang tomorrow:



Meanwhile, I have been a busy Ebayer.  When I was younger, during a renovation of the house on Baudoin where we used to live, Dad found some great old Victorian/Eastlake doorknobs that we installed on some french doors joining the den and living room.  I purchased some knobs that remind me of those from a seller in Delaware, OH.  Here's a pic:




I think these are going to look GREAT!  Meanwhile, Dave has been ludicrously productive.  The man is an artist, and extremely efficient.  He has:

Cleaned and applied polyurethane to all of the wood surfaces associated with the wainscoting:


And the mantels:



Installed crown moulding on the kitchen cabinets:




Installed the bathroom shower curtain rod assembly and shower:




And here's a pic of the front of the bathroom (ignore the sawdust, it's everywhere right now):




Also, Sylvia stained and poly'd the doors for the bathroom, bedroom, and hall closet:

Also, I am borrowing Jack's truck tomorrow to go look at and probably purchase this antique table off of craigslist ($190!!! What a bargain!!!):

Antique Table and 4 chairs. Approx 29 in. high,39 in. wide and 59 in. long. Has pop up leaf(such a neat feature,self contained under table) that is 1 ft wide. Dark mahogany in color,not sure of wood. I bought at Auction,planned to strip and redo but hubby says"Has to go-no room". Call if interested.
