Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Progress

Well, there is some progress on multiple front here.  First up is the den.  A while back, Scott had ordered some custom shutters for the room.  They were to be delivered and installed before the little guy arrived.  But the manufacturer was behind and the installation was a month late.  But boy does it look good (click on the picture to see a before).

Since the shutters have been installed, Scott has been really wanting to get this room done.  So, he scraped, sealed, primed, and patched the two last walls so far (I did the first two walls).  Some sanding and may another coat of primer (nasty black stripes were on the wall behind the paneling) and the last two walls can be painted and the final moulding installed.

Also under progress… of the eight people I called today, I got two no’s, 4 no answers (only left one message since people haven’t been calling me back)… and one maybe and one yes.  I don’t really like the one yes place.  Just a feeling and not to be snobby, but I think it is a different socioeconomic group.  The maybe sounds very promising and I’m waiting for a call back to see if it turns into a yes (one of the babies is leaving because of health issues).  They have kind of strange hours (okay, exactly the same hours as Scott so he will have to shift his hours a bit to make the pickup).
