October. Fekk!

It will come as no surprise to people who know me when I say I dislike winter.  I like to ski / snowshoe, and the downtime is nice to a point, but it is too long, too brown and gross, and i often struggle with "sluggishness" (that's being kind I guess) but I'm seriously looking forward to putting a fork in 2013. -4 this morning, bring it on.

But in the meantime we have progress on the main floor.  Real and his son are true artisans and the hardwood, tile, and drywall repair are coming along great.  He has forgiven me for un-boxing and racking the hardwood (I guess, he stopped mentioning it anyway). So this weekend I'll restore some of the trim once I find all the scattered pieces.  Hope it's ready at any rate.  Snuck a hike in last weekend in knee deep snow on a larch hunt and came out of it restored if a little banged up from a couple falls.  Anyhow - looking forward to having my mainfloor back online.  Two kitchen chairs and a corner of the dining room table perched on the edge of carnage is getting old. 

Other list items (and it's a long one) gardening, shed, truck, basement, - oh, and my 'office / den' might be fixed soon and I can sort / clean it.  Piles / dust / bits and pieces long lost since June.

Work very close to wrapping designs for 2013 builds!  Otherwise still long days and trying not to agitate those who are (in my opinion) gripping the stick a little too hard.  Fun stuff.  Starting to scheme on some winter projects - notepad/sketchbook at the elbow.  Anybody interested in a calendar?
