So we lived in America for two years where the only two adjectives are "awesome" and "brutal" but never really picked them up. We start building a house a year later and suddenly everything is "awesome". Who knows why, but at least we have found a way to personalise it to best meet this week's needs - it has been a "doorsome" week!
Our twelve internal doors presented themselves late yesterday, bringing a little thrill to Mr Laird's heart. You see, there are Certain Things that are Extremely Important to his sense of how this house Should Be. His deepest fear was bad doors. (Second to that would be bad skirting boards).
That fear has been assuaged. Lovely 4 panel timber doors are safely stowed, along with an excellent vestibule door that will receive custom leadlight, and even the timber and glass door for the butler's pantry. The latter needed to be an unusual size but luckily was found lurking quietly on its own, away from the other doors, at the emporium a couple of weeks ago.
Fast House Squasher continues to toy with us, parallel parking his knocker-downer on the front lawn but failing to do anything with it. Now it is the Easter long weekend so maybe no action until next Tuesday. But at least now we have collateral!
