The elves are at work.....

To give you an idea of what we're up to: I've cut all the lumber, weight bars, and ribs, and prepared some of the clutches for every job that needs to be finished by Dec. 16.  We have ripped all the lumber that needs ripping so the lumber is stacked on the bandsaw and tool chest.  The weigt bars and ribs are labeled and bundled.  More clutches need to be assembled and a few RBS systems still to be ordered.

I take my skill saw to Home Depot with me to cut down oversize pieces in the parking lot, so they'll fit in the car:

Finished shades are starting to accumulate.

And these 9 relaxed romans are ready to be mounted and strung, to go out tomorrow afternoon:

Ho Ho Ho everyone!
