life does take you some places, some you would rather not be, but the choice isn't always yours. last year i went from youthful to old and creaky in a six month period. it takes a positive perspective, one you've obviously got Dan! take care.
comptons is the place I was thinking of earlier. Trouble is I have to match the color of the windows that I already stained (pine). Not sure oiled fir would match. Howuch more would fir be? I have 18 windows to do.
just for the downstairs windows where i mistakenly assumed the jamb was 5 1/4 like up stairs. i only have to add 1/4 inch to them. cool...Blackstock it is.
stain it. hemlock because its cheaper than fir. i spent money on wood windows (jeldwen pine) and i don't want to blow my money on the fir so i think hemlock is a nice compromise.
can anyone recommend a place to get good hemlock finish trim? i've got to retrim all the windows in my house (just finishing up putting in the next to last window) and i need got get a bunch of trim stock. i'm going to do the "arts and crafts" style trim design so the stock i need is pretty basic. so far i see McClendons carries hemlock, but i haven't looked around further than that. i could go check out the Home Despot and their supply of crooked wood too...but prefer to go to one place that has reasonable prices.
i think there is also a place down just south of the west seattle freeway on 1st South, some lumber place.
any ideas?
saw some other pics on the interweb. it *was* a nutria...an introduced species. looks like a giant rat:
the heron was really cool to see though. wish i could have snapped some pictures of that.
are you a Goral Bob? It might explain your fondness for sheep.
i was not aware of the Goral people and their history till now. everyday this board gives me cultural enlightenment.
