the house

We’ve been doing some work on the house this winter. The main thing is that we’re replacing all of the interior doors on the main floor. We bought oak doors even though our trim is made of cherry, so I’ve been jumping through some hoops in order to get the two woods to match. So far, four of the doors are finished and two are installed. There are three to go. Of course, there’s the trim work that will need to be done once all of the doors are in.

We took a break from the doors to work on some bookcases for the library. Brian helped me finish them because it was quite a job. They are now ready to install. I can hardly wait to fill them with books. There are still a lot more bookcases to make, but the major construction is complete.

And the third major project is to stain/paint the stairs that go to the second floor. Brian started sanding them, but that kind of got pushed aside with everything else that is going on. But that project will resume shortly.
