The living room is completely gutted a new ceiling is up. Our old ceiling had some old water damage and so it was sagging. Because we started with 10 ft ceilings, it was no big deal to drop down 6 inches and build a brand new ceiling. We didn't tear out the old because sitting on top of that ceiling is about 100 years of insulation, dirt, gunk, etc. No thanks! We hope to order a woodstove this week so we can have it in before the cold weather. The only way I agreed to having a woodstove plopped in the first room you see as you walk in the house, was to help pick it out and to have a nice hearth and back drop. Sold! Phil was really excited to go by a new toy...a chainsaw! The ultimate tough-guy toy. The story that goes along with that purchase is a little entertaining, so I'll share. We went to the store that has been around since dirt. It's around 100 degrees outside and as we pull up and shut off our air conditioned car I see a sign that is never a good one...the door to the store was propped open. Yep, you guessed it, no AC! So here I stand with a bunch of sweaty men, looking at chainsaws. Phil was like a kid in a candy store. Later he told me he didn't even notice there was no AC. Pitiful.
So, next step is to patch up the floor a litte and lay OSB. Then we'll be ready for sheetrock and flooring!!!
We had our first BBQ with some friends. We've had a few people over here and there, but never a planned, group BBQ. I of course, bought wayyyy too much meat and buns, but nobody went home hungry. It was fun and hopefully once the living room is done we can have friends over for game night! This may sound cheesey, but there may be beer/wine/rum involved, making it all the more entertaining :o) Catch Phrase is sure to get a giggle, or all out hysterics.
On to save the world...or to do laundry.
