Thanks Russell. The "experience" was sometimes just that. At times it moved at such an incredibly slow pace I thought it would never be finished and at others I was inspired by the smallest victory like two pieces of trim being attached and finished around the windows.
Hundreds of photos were taken all through the process to, not only chronicle the progress but it also helped me during the slower periods study the lists of "what next?".. "I need to find these".. etc. Many decisions have to be made during the restoration and I do appreciate the feedback and input from many of the MKIIF members in that regard as well.
I recently took many of the photos, in chronological order and put them together in a sort of a slide show (put to the music of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue) LOL.. After I teared up watching it..... I had to laugh.. the file was 10 minutes long and was 21 MB large. I guess I'll have to wittle it down a bit to share.
