    I am not much for hero worship. However, Amaury is amazing. The breath and depth of his knowledge about carpentry, artistry. How things in houses work and how to fix them is impressive. He is a good, kind man; true strength. And he loves Nati. He probably does not even know what a treasure he is.

    With hanging lamps in halls and corridors please remember furniture and construction supplies may be moving under those lights too.
    With chains, you at least have the option of temporarily shortening them, with a zip tie or carabiner.
    Whereas in a room, you just need to walk under them.
    But in corridors, I hang them higher so plywood, Christmas trees, and armoires are less likely to bash them.

      Young Jordan is also a credit to Grant & Simone. Clearly, he's following closely in his amazing parent's footsteps. Their natural reaction is to pitch in when they see a need. Nice to meet his whole family this time around. Hope they pop over for another visit again one day.

I am a Dame of the Holy Sepulchre in the Eastern Lieutenancy of the USA: we gather yearly in October at St Patrick's Cathedral in NYC.

    I love seeing these brochantes and couldn't believe how well everything fitted together in the end.
    I find it amazing, how Armoury does all those heavy jobs.

    When you hang the big Lantern in the staircase do it in such a way that you can actually change the light bulbs from the high Landing.
