Episode 11: Where have all the workers gone? (except Phil!)

This is the tale of a studio that is named after a turtle; and like a turtle, it is progressing slowly. Perhaps I should have named it after a cheetah! Nobody came yesterday. I waited until it was quite late, then locked the door. Today Phil came back and worked alone on staining and assembling the window frames. He is creating lovely window surrounds; but the outside siding still isn't done on the south side and the porch and the cement and the paint.... I hope the weather holds out so this project can be finished before it becomes impossible because of snow and ice. A thought just occurred to me:  I am having this work done by Bear Builders and bears are known to estivate in the winter...Oh, dear! (A small consolation: At least bears are not true hibernaters.)

Now, for my friends who like to follow the pictures, here are the latest.

Phil is matching the woodworks to the existing door and is detailing them to match the era of our house.

He has even included a window sill for the placement of plants and sculptures.

This is the view to the south.

This is the western side.
