We're doing all the last minute (whether we like that or not!) details to get ready for our Design Studio open house this weekend. As you can see, the porch is almost completed, and the pergola has gone up over the door, matching the detailing of the pergola over our patio.
Painting is almost done. Hardware was installed on the garage doors....for a few minutes! After looking at it for a couple of days, Chip decided he didn't like the placement of the door handles. So, off they come! (Nobody bothered to ask me where they should go when they were installing. What's up with that?!) Not to worry. The holes were quickly filled, and will be sanded and painted over tomorrow. Then, the handles will be re-installed, and of course everyone will be happy! (2 steps forward, and 1/2 step back...but that's still progress! Am I the only one that lives with one of these ...?)
Now if we could only get the house painters to finish. (Anybody remember Elton from Murphy Brown??) The last thing that they did last Friday afternoon was put a second coat of oil base paint on the front and back porch...about 2 hours before a huge downpour. You know what they say about oil and water, right? So, try again! We're gonna get there, I just know it.

Murphy Brown was the best but it was Eldin not Elton Bernecky. He was a master painter though and his timetable would probably have suited your projects well. Things are looking good.
