French apartment renovations, Day 509: Mud, moldings, and more furniture

A muddy day today in the front apartment. Me, a bucket of mud, and several mudding knives.

After lunch, Eric was eager to pick up the custom wood moldings we had made (for our wood ceiling restoration in the front apartment). We managed to get the whole lot tied onto our roof rack. It's beautiful and precisely what we needed to recreate all of the parts that someone took off during a "renovation" where they removed all of the beautiful ornate woodwork on the ceiling and put up a false plaster ceiling, maybe 70-100 years ago or so?

We stopped by the big furniture consigment store and bought a Renaissance writing desk. It will need woodworm treatment and some refinishing but it's worth it. It has an amazing inlay pattern that will be stunning once the damaged finish is redone. Yet another project...


I had several Zoom meetings, one to discuss a breech conference in Guadalajara, Mexico, another to go over a publication & DNP final project that our research assistant is doing as she prepares to finish her CNM degree. I spent much of the evening going through scholarship applications.

And that is my super duper exciting life today. Oh, the kids had piano lessons as usual. Dio is grumbling and says he wants to quit. He's also bored. A lot. And mopey. A lot. And he is stealthily doing fantastic in school--he has the highest average in several of his classes!
