Life updates: Sarah is in Atlanta for an AT&T class of some kind and gets home tonight. The boys were great last night. Henry has a basketball game tomorrow morning then I'm headed to the lake for the day to work. The furniture guys are delivering my new office furniture on Monday and Tuesday our IT guys come down to get everything hooked up. Wednesday I have a big issue up in the General Assembly and I'm taking the day off on Friday to meet a former State Rep friend who's offered to help work at the lake.
With a little luck and speed, we'll have all the basement framed in and we can start putting up some of the pine walls in areas that can be worked on. The fireplace presents some issues, we are really going to have to engineer it so that the heavy barn beam mantle doesn't fall down. We are also putting in a pocket door and building two bed frames besides building the bar. I'm hopeful that those won't be too tough. I have to bid out a new composite deck and the tile job which isn't going to be cheap. Ceramic tile itself can be had for a buck a sq. foot but I'm a bit worried what the installer is going to quote me. I guess that's why you get more than one quote.
