Progress on Our Doors
















The doors are starting to look like doors. The battens are being attached to the frames. We have 7-10 rain free days ahead of us; that should allow the work to move forward. Here are some pictures from the workshop of Bryan Parris who is building them.

Rain, rain, go away




It's been a very rainy two weeks in Kansas City and that has pushed work on the doors indoors to the workshop of Bryan Parris, the artisan who is building them.




After two more days with the threat of thunderstorms, we have a long stretch of sunny weather. With any luck we'll have a new door or two installed by the first week of July. We're expecting the masonry restoration to start in the next few days also.




We have planted the flower bed with red vinca for the summer. Here are a couple of pictures.
