Bookshelves


Those of you who participated in the Safe Harbor library will be happy to know it's found a new home. I'd show you more photos on this posting, but it seems this New Blogger will only let me download one photo per post. Still working my way through it. Anyway, We built bookshelves in the cupola room, and bordered them on the bottom with tile we found in the basement. That's Chloe's grandfather clock and since this room goes up into a dome about thirty feet high, the chimes echo nicely. Those shelves are solid concrete topped with white ceramic tile. It took about three weeks to pour and finish them, with workers showing up every morning at 6:00. They're built like a fortress. Yet cheaper and more practical than wood! Will show more around the room in later posts.
