	21 The parade seems endless. There are hundreds of large pieces, including panels like this one. 8/29/12 11:14 AM 1600x1071 (941kB)
	22 No lift is available this time, so everything has to be hand-carried up the stairs. 8/29/12 10:37 AM 1600x1071 (669kB)
	23 The closet cabinets arrive from Mohawk Kitchens (Stamford CT). 8/29/12 10:35 AM 1600x1071 (987kB)
	24 The painted coffered ceiling section, still without fan and lights 8/20/12 4:30 PM 1600x1071 (480kB)
	25 From the suite entry, the floor and ceiling make a nice presentation. You better look at it now- it's about to be covered up for storage of the closet cabinets. 8/20/12 4:28 PM 1600x1071 (487kB)
	26 After sanding, staining and varnishing, the floors look great. 8/20/12 4:29 PM 1600x1071 (509kB)
	27 We have plenty of trained eyes looking this over. 8/8/12 9:57 AM 1600x1071 (806kB)
	28 The Minwax Golden Pecan stain, on the right in this photo, looks like the best match. 8/8/12 9:58 AM 1600x1071 (855kB)
	29 A short pass is made with the drum sander to provide a test area for the trial stains. The goal is to match the other upstairs floors. After two clear misses, perhaps the third one may be the charm. 8/8/12 9:57 AM 1600x1071 (982kB)
	30 We're ready to finish the floors. There was considerable debate about whether to finish floors before installing cabinets (my preference), or install the cabinets before finishing the floors. I guess I won. 8/8/12 9:59 AM 1071x1600 (708kB)
	31 The coffer framing becomes more apparent after painting. Weather forecasts predict that heat wave number FIVE of the season may be starting up tomorrow. Ugh. 8/1/12 6:30 PM 1600x1071 (663kB)
	32 The first coat of the wall and ceiling paint (Benjamin Moore OC-10/White Sand) is applied. 8/1/12 6:34 PM 1600x1071 (614kB)
	33 The north attic hatch door is painted, showing off Mario's trim work. It is certainly the nicest attic stair hatch we have ever had anywhere. 8/1/12 6:31 PM 1071x1600 (669kB)
	34 The coffer section will be lighted by Xenon strip lights inside the rim. The ceiling fan will go in the center. Perhaps Michaelangelo put more effort into the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but i"m not sure. 7/19/12 6:15 PM 1600x1071 (691kB)
	35 Now the coffered ceiling trim is taking shape. The light cove trim remains to be seen. Temperatures are in the 90's as our fourth heat wave of the summer presses on. 7/14/12 5:48 PM 1600x1071 (622kB)
	36 Mario has been putting together prototypes for the coffer beams, crown moulding and light cove. This way, everyone can visualize the finished product and understand how it is constructed. 7/12/12 5:26 PM 1600x1071 (483kB)
	37 A close-up of the beam prototype construction. Pretty complicated... 7/12/12 5:27 PM 1600x1071 (546kB)
	38 The coffered ceiling plan is one of the more complicated aspects of the project. 7/13/12 12:11 PM 1600x1035 (321kB)
	39 The crown gets wrapped around the entry and the "puzzle piece," providing some closure to this problem. 7/12/12 5:32 PM 1600x1071 (482kB)
	40 Jayne ordered new oak floor registers to replace the the old stamped steel ones, but they needed to be flush fit in floor recesses. The original cuts made in the floor looked like they had been done with a hatchet. I made the new cuts with the oscilating saw. 7/11/12 11:25 AM 1600x1071 (910kB)
