Maintaining the LaLa

The solid mahogany columns on the front had started yellowing but B came and sanded and sanded and refinished them and now they are their beautiful deep mahogany self. He told me I waited too long.

T came to fix the irrigation that J had run over with the lawnmower and then he fixed a couple of small heads around that had blown off.

The front doors are now being refinished – a product of the one two of Gustav and Ike – after those storms, it seemed the finished was almost stripped off of them.

Next it’s the windows – also mahogany – a light sanding and then refinishing.

The upkeep is gnarly, but when the house shines, it really shines. I’m getting to an age when I’m going to need more and more maintenance, yet I’d rather spend it on the columns then on my wrinkles.
