Our contractor has an uncanny knack for showing up when we’re not home or sneaking in when we’re not looking.

.

.

Like the other day when we walked into the barn and found he’d laid the top of the bar on the base…

.

.

And dropped off the stained pieces for the facing.

This end looked good…

.

.

The other end?

.

.

Not so much.

.

.

It seemed the corners didn’t quite fit together as planned.

.

.

So glue and clamps were deployed.

.

.

He called us later that day and told us not to worry, all would be well.

.

.

I’m trusting he knows what’s he’s talking about. And actually, by neon bar light?

.

.

It didn’t look half bad.
