Day Three

The humble floor. Much like the window. Except there appear to be considerably more options – meaning choices, meaning a decision has to be made - swiftish.

Poured concrete? Beautiful, but the weight would probably cause the little Cottage to sink, never mind Cochranville shifting a couple of degrees on the compass.

Realistically it has to be wood. Sustainable wood. And bamboo is the obvious selection because it’s so fast growing and hard and durable.

Uncharacteristically for me searching on the internet, I found in half a morning a company in San Diego who produce organic vertical grain bamboo in both wide plank and classic (the vertical grain bit is important as it makes relatively small spaces appear larger - Emily told me that). 

Their salesperson called me this morning to say that they could deliver within 4 days as they have a distribution center in Allentown, PA. Remarkable. Are there no Shop Stewards in America?

The photos are from this morning.
