A designer muses on construction. Cavity cleaning →. The quiet, thoughtful framers left recently, and are essentially finished with their work. I feel like there should have been a more momentous “good bye! 8221;, but alas, I waved from the front door as they drove off and mouthed again “thank you”. I should be happy that they are finished and that we can move on to all the things that follow, but those things that follow are messy, complicated, and consuming. Someday when we are…. Ceramics for everyday ...
