Kaleb, Brendin, and Matt Pratt worked all day preping and priming trim and baseboards.  Tim Ryan did touch-up Durabond work on ceilings and walls where drywall seams weren’t up to his straightness standards and/or there were blemishes he found unacceptable.  Tom Hobbs (Boot Hill Metal Benders) was here early morning to take measurements for the ductwork that will connect the shop planer and radial arm saw to the dust collector. Sean and Kevin Haight also were here early; Sean to review progress, budget, and get paid; Kevin to scope out the patio masonry work we want done.  Tom Morrissey finished installing the upper hall slate and grouted the half bath.  He also started work on putting down slate in the laundry and taking out the master shower floor tile where there still are smoothness problems.  Sonny and Brandon came close to finishing installing baseboards in the basement.  Brandon also put on the trim around the two basement pocket doors.  At 9 Chree and I left to spend lots of money back in the Burlington area, stopping to see Alverta on our way back south.
