We're getting there! I haven't posted pictures in a while because the place looks like a hurricane hit it. Old sheets all over the floor, ladders, window trim half-finished, no floor moulding (although the floor is down). The bookcases are put together, but not attached to the wall yet. The sleeper sofa and the chair have been ordered; we expect the sofa to come in within the next week or so, but the chair won't be here until sometime around the beginning of December.
Still looking at rugs, a small table with a couple chairs, end tables, and places for plants. I've been looking at a television, but haven't really made up my mind yet. We'll probably wait til closer to Black Friday. One of the local Mom-and-Pop stores said that if we bought the tv from them, they'd deliver it, hang it, and then calibrate it at no charge for anything. Plus they'd let us not pay any sales tax. This is the store where we bought our other tvs and, they did that for us the last times, too. They want our business; we want a good deal. I'm pretty serious about a Samsung, but am still looking at an LG.
Still having trouble with internet access and I don't know why. It comes and goes. I may have to bite the bullet and just buy a new router and modem and get it over with. This isn't working.
We have a cabinet that was originally supposed to be used for the bathroom remodel last year, but there were some problems with it. They sent us a replacement cabinet and told us to keep the old one. We stuck it in the basement, but I'm thinking of putting it in the shed. Yeah, it's a bluish color, but all it would take is some kind of top for it. Rick is thinking of using some extra floorboard to fashion a top. We'll see how it goes. I can always paint it white if I have to.
The shed is nice and warm. The heaters are working beautifully. The contractor is done (except for whatever he and Rick will do in November for my Christmas present), the electrician is done. We still have a ton of outside work to do: moving soil, doing some grading, creating a pathway, etc.
I'll get some pictures, once we get the place cleaned up a bit.
We had some shed visitors on Saturday. Several neighbors saw us working outside and came over; they wanted to see what we had done. They thought everything looked very nice.
Thanks for asking!
