Slow to post

I've been slow to post these past few weeks because of the remodeling project. As of now all the furniture has been delivered except for the TV console (so the living noon is for the most part useless). Now we are busy with final details like quarter round molding that had been removed years ago when the wall to wall carpet was put in. We are also replacing the fireplace mantle. The old one was covered with about ten layers of paint so I am making a new one that will be natural oak. Last weekend we bought a carpet (picture to come). all this and still no one has been killed in the process.
