Some more Chihuly at Cheekwood

Well it appears we've run out of photo space !!!!!

A visit to Cheekwood

Today is the first day of fall break and I dragged Kristina and Nik to see the Chihuly Exhibit at Cheekwood. We got there just as the gates were opening so were able to "beat the crowd". Nik took most of the photographs which was not easy given the position of the sun :)

There's more. I'll do another posting soon.

Stripping the shutters

Happy Columbus Day to those of you living State-side. John has the day off work so we are tackling one set of shutters. I had already scraped off loose paint so John is trying out some paint stripper instead of sanding.

There's at least 3 layers of paint to get rid of and the green looks like mold once it bubbles up. Definitely a bit of an "ick" factor when you look at it in reality.
John has been stripping since early this morning and has a ways to go so I doubt I'll be doing the painting today. I've been doing some yard work instead.
