I just realized it has been over a month since I posted anything. Oh well... best laid plans and all that. Here is some of what we have been up to. I finally did what I have been talking about for years. We put a free standing gas fireplace in the living room.

Yes, the wrought iron fence does kind of stand out. Becky and the boys were here when Aman an I got it installed (not even fired up yet) and within 5 minutes Adam had crawled over and opened the door on the bottom. So we decided to put up a decorative yet functional barrier. I kind of liked the idea of a hog panel but I got out voted.

Aman and I also did a remodeling job on the bedroom. Well, mostly he remodeled and I assisted. We put up new paneling


Installed a replacement window (it's behind the curtain)


And lowered the ceiling. I installed a track light over the bed so Sue could have light when she reads in bed.
The light in the bedroom closet now has a motion detector on it. When you walk in the closet the light comes on. After a minute or so with no motion it goes off.

Oh, and in my spare time we had 3 fire runs this weekend.
