Shell Shocked

J.  The last two days have been a nightmare.  If anyone out there is considering having cove-molding put in their home AFTER they have moved in, I have one word for you DON'T.  I know I'm finicky, but this is awful.  It is one of the messiest, dirtiest processes I have ever experienced.  Rudy and I refinished hardwood flooring once...something I would never repeat.  This rates right up there with that.
Having said all of that though...l love the way it looks!

 We are having a day off today while everything dries.  The painters begin tomorrow.  Hopefully, all the outside work will be done by Friday and then we begin on the interiors.

p.s.  Heard from V. this morning.  She travels back from Big Sur tomorrow. Says the course has been wonderful and exhausting and promises lots of interesting news next week.  I can't wait!
