The waterproofing on the western face
is near completion now. I thought the plan
initially was simply to replace
some soggy sills, but talking to the man
my brother recommended, skillful, smart,
developed and expanded into new,
inside and out – almost a work of art
before the frame and trim and paint were through.
It’s looking lovely, and I don’t regret
the time and money spent to date, but now
I stand upon a threshold shot by wet,
and know it’s time to watch the man show how
he’ll do the job I needed even more:
replacing oaken sills beneath each door.
