Cloudy With Sunshine

As the sun was setting on this cloudy evening, the sun poked through just enough to highlight the mountains.  For a very brief moment, the scenery was dazzling.

Earlier today I went to Billings to run some errands and then made a stop in Absarokee.  More work has been done on the roof in back (as weather allowed) and two of the builders were outside framing the fireplace.  The painter has been filling nail holes, caulking, and preparing to start priming next week.  The tiler has begun work preparing the master shower for tile; drain set, cement board going up on the walls.  Coney (our builder) was sanding in the garage and mechanical room so that all the walls are ready for the painter.

Off site, other little tasks are getting done.  The cabinet knobs and pulls have arrived and I am busy sorting them for quick use when the cabinet maker installs the cabinets.  And - laugh if you must - I am building a "decorator binder" to record paint colors, finish details, fixture information, and all the helpful data that we will need going forward.  I created a binder like this for our home in Vermont and used it several times for paint colors, appliance model number, or part numbers if we had to replace something.  When we sold the house, I left the binder with the house.  Anyway, the binder is set up now and I have begun filling it with all the helpful information.
