Finally

It took several more days to finish all the nits and nats and to cart off the debris but at long last the repairs

and/or renovations to the Amagansett house are done.  I am reveling in not having workmen in and out of the house and, perhaps most of all, not having to get people back to complete anything more.  Actually, I am only complaining about the inevitable side effects of having work done on a house.  They did a good job as far as I can see.  I am sure that  - now that I've said that -- the next person in the door will point out something that I overlooked.  I guess that's what handymen are for.  Now if only I could find one.  Just in case, you understand.
