Rain, sweet rain. One of my favorite things to do is put on rain pants and coat, rubber boots and a hat and walk in the rain. Especially along the creek there are so many sweet smells, the leaves on the ground are soggy and I can move undetected by the wildlife, at least I like to think so. Today was one of those days, our wet and stormy winter is finally here, hopefully to stay a while.

In the shop I glued up bi-fold doors for J + K, I will probably install on Monday. These doors required the best of the cypress that Greg and I milled from slabs, the height of the doors is nearly 8 feet and the larger panels are 4 feet long by about 10 and 12 inches. I book matched the panels and the long stiles are not even close to straight so I am curious how they will hang. Hopefully the panels straightened them out some when they were glued up.

I acquired a vintage Fire-Ball trailer yesterday, about 16 feet long. The roof leaks a bit and the floor has a big hole but the cabinets and appliances are in great shape. I haven't figured out the year yet but I am guessing mid to late 60's. This was a freebie, how could I turn in down, add it to the list of projects right. Well I hope to work on it sooner than later, I was scoping out the roof today. I hope to patch the floor soon to keep the critters out.

I'm still pushing ahead on the house, I drafted bathroom vanity plans for the bathroom downstairs this evening. Tomorrow I plan on starting on the sashes and door for the shower. The sills and jambs are in and the tile is about 85% installed. One more session and the tiles will be set and then ready for grout. Becky has done an awesome job setting the tiles while I cut them for her and clean the tools and buckets.
