We had a snow storm on Saturday, that cleared about sunset leaving behind a clear sky and a cold night. The new snow in combination with a full Moon made for a very bright night.I tend to not sleep well on full Moon nights (no jokes), and on this one I found myself staring out the windows to see what might walk by. Although I didn't see anything, I noticed in the morning, when looking out of the throne room window, that a path had been worn in the snow behind the house going to the south around the master bedroom wing/side. I looked as if a herd of something walked by in single file. I need to get a game camera and set it up.
As far as doings around the house went, we finished the stair guardrail, added trim in a few places, patched and painted some walls that were punished by construction and finished the base/case and sauna (the last part Jesse and John finished).
Marlys sealed all of the wood including that on the "out of code" handrail, that I need to replace. The guardrail is capped with tiger strip maple.For those keeping score there are three types of wood used in the house; pine/fir, maple and cherry (in the master bath).
Next weekend we hope to fire up the sauna for its inaugural burn in.
As part of our theft deterrent plan (along with the alarm system-TBI), Marlys setup the Xmas tree.We have decided that this will be the location of record for this year, so the Parker house will get minimal decoration.
BTW for those of you who have asked; after much work and money the refrigerator and D/W cabinet fronts turned out real nice.

Pat, the pictures are great, in particular the outside shot of the house and snow. FYI, pine and fir are two different woods, the fir will end up darker than the pine.
Have you furnished the guest rooms yet?
Well there both conifers anyway. Thats pretty close.
