more progress

My undisturbed weekend was so nice. I got that mold filled 

and it will probably be the last one we fire before the open house. If I get the finish work done and the display stuff done before the open house it will be a fucking miracle.

Monday I cleaned up my mess over at the shop and then went to the local frame shop for some foam core board for the new sign and then after lunch Rocky's asking about the last door (which is solid enough and undamaged on the garage side from the flood but the inside has the veneer coming loose some at the bottom and I was thinking I would just live with it but what the hell, everything else in the room will be new so might as well replace that one too) and also about the flooring which I had already decided to do in vinyl but have to pick an actual product. So I've been back on-line and on the phone looking for a door just like the one I have...solid core slab door wood veneer no panels.

Yesterday I drove to El Campo which is closer than Rosenberg and the Lowe's to look at the door at McCoy's, damaged at the bottom, they'll probably give you some off the guy says (no, not replacing a damaged door with another damaged door no matter how minor) and to the flooring place where I got there basically in time for her to close for the lunch hour (small town) and for her to tell me she couldn't identify the flooring in my bathroom from a picture (what?). So since my call to the Wharton flooring shop who did the bathroom has gone unreturned and they are NEVER open, not, at least, the few times I've tried in the middle of a weekday, I will probably have to start over and pick a new a vinyl that is as close to what I have as possible. Anyway, I headed back and then drove in the opposite direction to Lowe's to buy the door. Which I did.

Progress as of end of day yesterday...

Getting there.

Now something totally unrelated to work or reconstruction, wandering around the yard yesterday some fluttering on the yellow ginger caught my eye 

and another hummingbird moth had it's tongue stuck in a wilted flower and was struggling to get loose so I gently pulled it off and away it flew. Then I noticed a second moth on the same cluster of flowers but this one was not so lucky and had already died. 

That's the second one (found one earlier this summer that was stuck and had died) so I guess I need to check those clusters every morning as long as they are blooming.
