Today was a good day. Rough start after a late night… Coffee. Seeing everything coming together gives everyone extra energy/motivation.

Kris and I finished up the slatted area of the kitchen then after a little sketching and discussion on the size, spacing and orientation, we began to assemble frames and remove the seams from the bags. Stretching the burlap was a fairly smooth process, after the realization that my hands were more successful than the canvas pliers, intended for stretching canvas- and tearing burlap. By the end of it the floor was covered in the tattered remains of unused bags, some coffee bean stragglers, staples, etc, etc.. Messes follow me.

With the panels up in place, it made it easier to visualize some options a few of us talked about earlier to resolve the 5 inch spacing of our balusters. The night ended at a decent time. I went home and fell victim, yet again, to a 4-hour marathon nap attack.. Looking forward to finishing the guardrail assembly tomorrow. So. Close.
