He puffed and he puffed and blew the house down. NOT. We had the Wolf cooktop stove of Nancy's dreams hooked up today, and its sweet. Simmers so low you can melt chocolate chips on a paper plate right over the flames (no kidding). Levi Ross came over and hooked up the propane (15" flexible metal line), we plugged it in (igniteors), and turned it on. Presto--flames. Six 18,000 BTU burners; you can heat the house with this sucker!Prepped the two plaster walls with latex primer and 16 oz of fine sand per gallon. Now we have 600 sq. ft of walls that look and feel like 100 grit sandpaper. Plastering is on the schedule for the weekend. Working on bathroom file in between, cutting the corners out of 13" tiles for 4"x4" insets. Kind of tricky until you get the jig made. Jigs are wonderful for anything you're going to do more than a half-dozen times, or if you don't have any patience or abilities to replicate your own work. Oops, got to go and watch The Middle now. Ciao. Michael
