A-HHHHH ! THE SMELL OF NEW WOOD

  Perhaps insignificant to most, but the smell of new wood is a delight to me.  A fir is especially nice and we have recently put up new fir rafters on the 3rd floor which will remain exposed against the dry-walled and painted surface.

(new fir tongue & groove flooring)

   Today Donnie and I will finish replacing a section of porch flooring with new tongue and groove fir which we found to match the existing flooring.

And I get to use the nailing gun again!
