J&K Flooring stopped by again yesterday and put down the carpeting in the basement. The upper flight of stairs is carpeted and then the basement floor is, at least the main room below.

Shoes in Summer, Beer & Hot Dish in Winter

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Here is the stoop right outside the garage door. Works out real nice, one step up to the stoop, one more easy step into the house from there. I can see that being a gathering place for shoes during warm weather and during the winter I can see a case of beer and a pot […]

Living Room Looking Up

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Once again we are in the living room, this time looking up at the ceiling fan. It works too, however I wonder if the remote control receiver is wired in?
