I've been thinking along the same lines as your friend, Tom

But I figured that's the last thing you need to hear at this stage of the project.

Funny you should mention 3 tiers of staging, that's exactly what I've been up to, on and off for the past couple weeks. Helping a friend on one of his jobs fitting new windows, trim, patching in the clapboards and repairing the rot we're finding here and there. We've worked together for too many years for any acrimony over fitting issues. A simple "take another half a saw blade" and an extra trip up the ladder for me, the ground guy.

In the meantime, I'm trying to finish up a kitchen island unit in the shop. This is being built in two pieces with allowances for down draft stove top venting and fitting around a structural post. After it leaves my shop it will go to the owners home for finishing then on to an island cottage in Muscongus Bay. I've had a couple moments of self-doubt and mild panic over this one as well.
