When the contractors go home, there is quite a list of things we do that to only save us money, but ensure the project gets done more quickly. Here Phil has sanded a giant beam that is one of the main beam supports of the apartment's structure. The ceiling is finished with mahogany so we are staining the big beam to match it. You can't see it in the picture, but the clerestory tempered glass was installed this week, and much of the wainscoting went up as well. (Note: The colors here are not perfect due to the lighting.)
We also finished staining the sweet deck off the west end of the apartment. The next step will be to cut the beautiful and sculptural guava tree branches which will be the uprights around the deck.
Another on-going project is painting the new "accent color" which is a cross between poppy and cinnabar -- the perfect complementary color for all the luscious greens both inside and out.
(Lunel is taking next week off for a visit to her dear Kona friend Yani, and some friends visiting from Humboldt County.)
