Put another coat of polyurethane on the stair railings and the woodbin.  Decided that the mud entry coat rack was too long for the available wall space, so whacked eight inches off, then discovered that I no longer seem to have a ¼″ cove bit for my router, said bit needed to restore the edge detail on the ends of the coat rack.  Looks like a trip to Lowe’s is in our near future…  Retrieved from Vermont Specialty Slate the 40 pieces of 12″ x 12″ x ½″ black slate that will surface the front entry porch.  Also bought 40 pieces (roughly 70 square feet) of irregularly shaped and about 1″ thick black slate that will become the walkway between the driveway and the front entry steps.  Wrestled five of the gravestones (at 100 pounds apiece) into position to make a temporary step for the front entry.
