Progress not perfection.

That title is a saying from A.A... No better place to say that than right here, right now, in a funny little town in a corner of Arizona. The project went from exciting to complicated with the rise of the stairs giving Ben a bit of a headache. He handled it quite well, but the day was filled with trying to figure out how this is gonna work. We started slow...

It also took on a very Wendy moment..
As I stood back and looked at the overall makeup of the room, I decided, as I have done before that planks were required. Not "planking" which is all the rage... but planks. I had to pull the rustic "Coastal Living Magazine" card and go get planks to fix the wall that refused to stop getting dinged, beat up and thrashed. I will either white wash the wall with a thin coat of paint or stain it in some mossy green. Of course if it were in true Coastal Living style, it would be white white white! But I am not that into just white.

And even though the staircase is upside down, you can kinda get the feel for what is transpiring..

Ben is due here at around 7.. I best get my coffee slammed and get the room ready for all the constructing, sawing and drilling that will be happening.
