Added weather stripping and caulked like a maniac over the weekend to see if I could stop the leak into the basement that was so devastating the night of those really bad storms. When our contractor re-set our french doors down there, it looks like he inexplicably removed all the …
Our show yesterday at the Reston Festival went quite well. No major wreckage occurred, other than a spontaneous rearrangement of “Get On With It,” our opening number.
