Joel Said, "Let There Be Light"
Jody installed the lights, and behold there was light. And Joel looked upon the lights and saw that they were good.
Stair Parts!
We got a special delivery of three of the balusters on order for the stairs. The rest will arrive on Monday, but it was nice getting a sneak preview. They are VERY heavy weight and also very pretty.

A Sea of Stain
Joel has been hard at work staining trim wood for the interior trim. The stain grade wood is put on sawhorses outside, then transferred to a tarp where it dries for an hour or two before going inside.
