I told myself I wouldn't work on Sunday, however a patron of mine is heading south to the bay area to take his wife to her other home and his sash windows that I built don't have glass in them yet. I couldn't get over there today because of my sons violin recital and tomorrow they leave. Not only will I be working on Sunday but I will be starting early.

The sashes were built to house salvaged insulated units of tinted glass pulled from an elementary school that are one inch thick. The redwood I used was salvaged 3x12's, incredible wood! You can't grow wood like the old growth... it takes time... many human generations.

We have been taking showers in the house, wow what a luxurious shower. It is fun to look out the shower through the glue chipped glass and imagining what the patterns look like. All that is left to do is to drill a hole for the sink drain and restore the claw foot tub... I just thought of a few more things like making shelves for the tall cypress cabinet and also caulking the perimeter of the floor with sanded caulk that matches the grout. At that point I think it is safe to say that the bathroom will be finished. Then I move on to building the kitchen cabinets with maple I had milled about 10 years ago. ( Wow how time does fly! )
