Morning Gift

We woke up to this very industrious spider just outside our bedroom this morning.

Defiance

Evidently the tree has a disagreement with the gardeners and thinks it needs a branch here.

Sailing Day Two

On their way out for the day. The Star of India, The San Salvador, The America and The Californian.

OK America, this is the next holiday. Please stop with all the Christmas advertising.

Halloween Is On It's Way

Another Round Of Boxes

I built these in 2009 for a friend in LA. Nine in total. She used them in her art shows. Now she is working on scrolls and wants boxes. Time to kick it up a few notches. Hinged lids and curved glass. I am in the planning stages. I think she will be visiting in December with a sample.

SUCCESS!!!!!

We Have Badges For 2019

And they arrive in these nifty boxes!

Tomorrow is THE Day

Yes, it is the first round of Comic-Con badge sales. All of us Super Hero's will be online attempting to procure badges!

Ready For Urethane

After a closer look, it was off to the store for more color. Spattering is done. Tonight it gets a coat of polyurethane.

Racing Stripe.......

All that is left is the floor urethane.

Masked And Spattered

Break From Stairs

The Mingei Museum side show from 2015. Really interesting little critters. Between 4 & 6 inches tall.

Second Coat Of Paint

They actually look really good, if I do say so myself.

Progress

Stairs are painted, installed and calked. I don't know why I calked them because they are such a tight fit. Only one stair had a 1/8 inch gap to one wall. All the rest were tight. The only injury was my left pinkie. Can we say ..... Ouch?

Stairs Else Where

Stairs..........

During....

These stairs are really bad. Horrible workmanship. Split and warped wood. The carpenters must have been high.

Formulating a plan. I got this.

The Stairs, Part 1

Before............

Surf Was Up That Day
