I drove on Tuesday
Apr. 22nd, 2025 09:23 pmI got going fairly early, so I stopped at Ludlow and used the bathroom there. This was less stressful than driving straight through.
The metal artist / designers came out and did a presentation. I had said, regarding the turret stair, “Make it a tree”, and they took me seriously and literally and I could not be happier. With the dragon finial, I’ve got a solid Clan Korval reference built into my house. Love it!
Apparently, we are back to having a stair from the deck (the LS side of it anyway) down to the path at grade, so now all those doors are accessible from the ground. Which is mostly fine, but means I want to switch to having doorbells instead of just cameras on the two doors, and have something on the third door, and also probably something pointing down the stair.
We discussed Door 10 options, and after everyone but J., D. and I was gone, I floated the idea of a metal clad wood door for that. I have subsequently found a custom door maker who does exactly that — mahogany on one side and copper on the other. Looks super cool. We’ll see what happens next.
When I drove up the hill and parked, I saw I had a text from 10 minutes earlier regarding a couple items I’d listed on FB marketplace, so I called R., had him put them in a bin and put the bin on the porch and they were picked up almost immediately. Woot!
