Interesting times…
Well, normally our renovations would have been completed by now including the outside lighting we’re going to have installed. But stuff happens...as in corona virus COVID-19. Our French doors await installation. Our interior bedroom door awaits completion. Our porch door awaits preparations and installation. Our toe kicks under kitchen cabinets await installation.
