Built the framing for the sliding door of the garage.
Lap joints, screws, and plenty of construction adhesive should keep this dimensionally stable for the future.
It is recommended to start at the earliest post and proceed chronologically.

Concrete Subtraction
Here the concrete guys remove some of their new work.
The steps to the kitchen were pretty wonky, and the paving in front of the Dining Room door didn't slope enough to drain (puddle).
Luckily, they agreed to 'make it right'.

Completed Lower Landing
Somewhere under the protective cardboard is the completed run of stairs.
Well...almost complete.
The fir flooring on the landing needs another sanding and coat of finish.
And then I can install the missing riser board (can you see it?)
And then, of course, another coat of finish on the whole thing.

Last week was all about steps.
Exterior concrete steps in the front, and interior wood stairs to the second floor.

Front Steps Underway
Formwork for the concrete front steps and walkway is underway. Hope to complete and pour these soon.
Another Rejuvinated Light Fixture
Another old light fixture with a new life ahead.
This one goes above the Dining Room table, if all goes well.

Butcher Block
Here is the end-grain fir butcher block in progress.
Soooo much sanding. The endgrain is tough, and it takes hours to wear it down just a little.
Zone out with headphones on and sand, sand, sand.
