We decided that we could stand the hobo life for another week if it meant we could make one more run at the floors. They were too close to fabulous not to try to get rid of the underlying orange peel effect of the bubbles. So, this Saturday, Chad and I met Drew at the house to sand the floors again. Drew applied another coat of poly - this time a satin finish, rather than a semi-gloss, in the hopes that a flatter finish would be more forgiving. The result is that you have to really work to see the bubbles, and, therefore, things look sooooo much better. Six to ten small flies sacrificed their lives to the floor. They either landed on it and got stuck while it was drying or died from the fumes. Whatever the case may be, several small flies are embedded in the floor. We salute you flies (and we think we can sand you out)!
Chad and I also painted the fascia (no idea if that's spelled correctly) - in preparation for the installation of our gutters this Tuesday. As attractive as khaki and olive are, someday Rooster Haus aspires to be either "Island Shores" blue with a "Crisp Linen" trim or a "Green Tea" with "Crisp Linen" trim... either way, white gutters are going up, so now's our only chance to paint the wood behind them.
Watch for posts this week. If all goes as planned, we should have baseboards, cabinets and appliances by this weekend. Exciting!
