Counter tops casts with CTS Cement Mfg Corp | Rapid Set. Pulled forms within the hour they were cast. Pretty cool. Still need to fill voids and decide if the trowel finish is good enough or should I grind. Or just grind later?

The taper jig rip wouldn't work for me because I didn't have enough stock to leave a several inches for screws. In the end the track saw turns out to be faster and probably more accurate. Festool Power Tools - North America

The word for today is "story pole". (For those of you who are from New Orleans, this has nothing to do with Storyville.) It is the process of using rigid sticks to mark and record measurements and transfer them to something else. It is easier and more accurate that a tape measure, but getting it just right can still be a challenge. Building the jamb extensions for the windows at 1910 Urquhart. Great article from Fine Homebuilding Magazine about Trim Carpentry.http://www.finehomebuilding.com/pdf/021137062.pdf

Tape and mud going in at 1910 Urquhart. Still do door sweeps or weather strips on the French door astragal. The only heat is a 500w baseboard heater, and the temperature is pretty comfortable at 63 degrees.
The main house hasn't been that warm with an electric furnace.

Doors, ready to come out and be finished.

The French doors are trimmed, drilled and hung. Ready to be epoxy finished and top coated with varnish. Pre hung would have saved a ton of time, but these mahogany doors were a great deal from Restore and worth the work.
