It's getting close - we are moving in on August 10th - muhurta approximately 12 noon. R is doing wonderful work on the banisters: up the stairs, across the balcony and around the brahmastan. Apart from the handrail, he has made and shaped everything from scratch and he looks to be having a very good time. The house smells beautifully of pine.
Shades of Frank Lloyd Wright, I reckon.
R floating.Muggins here gets to do the unskilled work (on account of not being able to do the other) - laying floor tiles in the kitchen/dining/sitting room - about 1000 of them - this is yesterday's total:
Today I got faster and now about half the room done - 420 tiles. I am shuffling around on knee pads needing only half a shoe on each knee to to a passable imitation of one of the seven dwarves. Will the tiles be still parallel with the walls by the time I get to the other end? Will they stay stuck down? Will the knees ever recover? Anyway it looks okay at the moment.
