So back in December, before Christmas, Cathy and a took a trip out to Joanne's in New Hartford and had no trouble picking out the perfect fabric to recover my 10 dining room chairs in anticipation of their new home. I have been wanting to do this re-upholstery project for years, but the house renovation is the catalyst to really get me moving on it. Who am I kidding, though. I am clearly out of my element here. Thankfully Cathy, my wonderful friend, is a talented seamstress! We dug into the project this week at her house. Over the weekend Joel helped me remove the old fabric which was a tedious and difficult task because
whoever affixed the original cloth really went to town with the staple gun. Cathy is sewing little pillows and stuffing them with down to add extra cushiness to the old foam pads. Can't wait to see the finished products:)
Meanwhile, Steve is continuing to re-support our bedroom ceiling. Below are pictures of the 2 by 8 boards that connect from the new ridge beam in the peak to the new horizontal beams on the walls. Once he gets some of these rafters installed on both sides of the beam he will remove the chains and cables, releasing the tension that has been drawing the walls together.
