Closer

We've just finished doing a little work downstairs, and Mike's being a guitar hero, so here I am on the computer.

The big news of the week is that we had our carpet installed on Tuesday. It's so nice! Even though we haven't finished everything and have no furniture, we've taken the boys downstairs to hang out. I promised to post pictures, and to make the result that much more dramatic, I'm showing the earlier shot again. A lot has changed in three months.

One more thing about the carpet installation: the installers broke one of our basement windows. It came crashing shut after they put the carpet through (the easiest way to get very long things into the basement). Can you say Total Landscape flashback? This was minor compared to a rafter crashing through our sunporch window. For anyone who doesn't know this story, Total Landscape exhibited gross incompetence on their very first day of work, when the crew's equipment broke one of our pergola posts in half. While replacing the post, they lost control of a rafter. Brilliant.

I forgot what you said the cubbyhole under the stairs is going to be. Was it for a computer?

Yes, it's a computer desk. I think it turned out really well. Too bad that computer doesn't work anymore.
