Lovely!

Really, no green wood? (Meaning the color, though I think that is related to the freshness... I guess the stuff I see with green streaks must lose its color as it ages.)

I love this and...uh oh...I feel a story coming on

Currently editing Somewhere Never Travelled, here's a snippet:

Quote:

Billy held a boxer’s mit of a fist into the air and from that raw and powerful fist he extended a finger, until, under the flickering light of the almost-but-not-quite dead cigarette, he conjured a gun.

A gun that he fired off into the imagined past and there to the docks of New York where a boat slept in the muddy waters of the Hudson and the salt-lashed and far-from-home men were very much awake.

Right now: having a brie and apple sandwich, and a vanilla yogurt smoothie.

And admiring the writing talents of my friends in the Llounge.

Lovely work, what wood is the roof? I can't tell if it is something quilted, or thick rays like Lacewood from the picture.

The worst is those deceptive species that lose their original colo(u)rs.

Purpleheart is one I love to show people, thankfully though it does age to a beautiful red-brown. I actually wish I bought some in bulk when it was cheap in the 90's. For some reason the price was below that of maple and oak.

Refinished the piano today, now I'm painting under the stairs, and hopefully the rest of the Great Room walls.

badgoodDeb · 05-21-2009, 02:45 PM

Refinished a piano in LESS than one day, and still hard working at something else? Gosh, I'da thought a piano would take a whole week or more!

Psocks: I'm keeping tabs on Ms Maveety via text messages! Indeed, as she posted above, she *is* still alive.

Cleaning for the inspection, I can understand. Painting... maybe. Refinishing the piano... look, just how gullible do you think we are? Admit it. You're addicted to DIY. (Is there a 12-step group for that?

)

if not, she should start one !

No, the point of a 12-step group is NOT to encourage more people to pursue the addiction!

).

badgoodDeb · 05-21-2009, 02:52 PM

If not, she should come visit me for a while!! *Then* we'll think about curing her. I hate to clean, and it shows!

But me mum's visiting in 3 weeks, so I'll have to do a bit of tidying up.
