We are VERY close to being done with the work on the house (on the current project - I have about 20 more on a list somewhere, so we'll never really be done). Both new rooms have been painted and will have their respective floorings in by the end of this coming week. Furniture for the bedroom will be delivered very soon after that. We ordered built-ins for the mudroom, but they won't be in until the second week in December, so that room will be pretty bare for a while yet. However, I have to say that the single most exciting thing right now is that the garage is FINISHED. And the single most exciting part about that is (drumroll, please)...
Parking both cars in the garage at the same time - with room on either side and in the front and back to move around - and places to store things like bikes and shovels and gardening supplies. I must confess, I actually go out there at random times in the day and just stand in wonder. We had a little drama with the siding paint and garage door color, but we've decided we like it all well enough and even though it isn't what we originally planned, it looks very nice.
In other (but perhaps somewhat related) news, Reece's bed broke. When I sat on it. And then I immediately threw out every sweet in the house (no, not really). Turns out, you DO get what you pay for. We bought it almost exactly one year ago, and when I emailed the company (with photos - see below) they said there is no manufacturer's warranty but they would be willing to send us the part (basically a 2x4 board) at no charge if we just paid $44.95 for shipping and handling. For a plank of wood. They gave us free shipping when we bought the bed originally! Needless to say, I sent back a reply saying thanks but no thanks. We'll dismantle the bed this weekend and take the broken board to a lumber yard near us to see if we can just get one the same size to put back in.
