(Persimmon) Dreams come true. I’d been thinking about staining this ceiling for a looooong <\/em>time. Since way before there were even any\u00a0house plans\u00a0for a cedar ceiling.<\/p>\n

Two days ago, though, there was some confusion. The kakishibu<\/em> (persimmon extract) had come from Kyoto with instructions to cut in half with water. I didn’t know it needed to be cut—and that got me worrying. Once you stain the wood, you can’t really un-stain it.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, though, I got started. I cut the extract in half, and began with the hallway. I hadn’t been putting it on for thirty seconds before I remembered how nice it looked.<\/p>\n

Managed to get a bit of the living room done, too, before I just couldn’t see well enough to continue. When I looked up at what I’d done, I couldn’t see any difference between it and what I hadn’t gotten to yet. Until I took a picture.<\/p>\n

Sometimes\u00a0when I’m out hiking, I feel like I can get the camera to “exaggerate” a bit—but this time, with this shot, I felt like the camera was actually seeing what I couldn’t. Maybe it does that more than I thought.<\/p>\n

Rained that night and the next morning . . .<\/p>\n

. . . but regardless, the high part of the ceiling waited. Would the ladder be tall enough?<\/p>\n

Well, I managed part of the high part without<\/em> a ladder.<\/p>\n

And the ladder did<\/em> get me high enough when I needed it to. Just barely.<\/p>\n

No, Mom, I didn’t fall. And now I’m down and safe and sound on solid ground.<\/p>\n

At the moment, I’m thinking the one coat will do it, but we’ll see how it looks in various light. At the moment, I’m in love with the way it looks.<\/p>\n
