Back from Ninole

{moszoomimglink:The staircase in full daylight}This month saw a late visit (due out from November, but I was moving then). The piece de resistance was the staircase, a real beauty that replaces the dreaded ladder. It is a thing of elegance and solidity, and it is the most impressive result of this month of work.

Unfortunately, no matter how happy I am about the progress, it just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen by the deadline. Don’t get me wrong: I love the work done. At the same time, I am always surprised at how slow progress is and how much the contractor moves faster if I am around.
