Winter at the Shore

Just trying to catch up with the blog.  Haven't posted anything since we left for the US last November.  We stayed at the shore until May 1st and tackled a pretty major carpentry project.  The stairwell in Atlantic Ave. had been getting perpetual cracks in the drywall.  The plan was always to cover it with wood and I bought the wood shortly after the house was completed in 1996.  So I have had this project on the list for over 15 years and finally had the time.  Since we bought the boat, we have been sailing the winters and the house had been rented in the summers.  Finally, since we are down unda with opposite seasons, the project was do-able.  Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of it.
