Renovations
Jul 31
Our house has a fireplace. It has actually always had a fireplace but it has been covered up by an entertainment center that the people who lived there before us built. We have now ripped said entertainment center off to reveal a fireplace that needs some work. We were aware before getting into the project. Here is the sad part. We tore the entertainment center down on Monday, hoping to get the people from the Fire Escape out there to give us an estimate sometime this week. Well, they won’t be able to come out until August 18th. This means that we won’t be able to put the floor down until then also as we don’t know what all redoing the fireplace will entail. I suppose I can be patient until then.
The fireplace isn’t the only thing being redone. In the process we will be replacing some of the floors and putting up a new entertainment center (that was bought from IKEA!). Since the entertainment center is moving I had to relocate some wires (cable and speaker) which meant that I spent Monday evening in the attic. Yes, this was the day that it got up to 107 degrees outside. I don’t want to guess what it was in that attic.
So all we have to do is wait until the 18th of August. Hopefully after the estimate they will be able to get right to it. I will try to keep pictures posted so that you can view the progress. I am excited to get this done!
Oh, and here is a picture of our new entertainment center 70% put together.

Aw the fireplace is cute! And what a nice sleek new entertainment center! I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!!
Yes Brian…have patience, have patience, don’t be in such a hurry.
“When you get impatient you only start to worry.”
Or you could make it worse, if by yourself you scurry!
And have the thing fall down, with your wife in a fury!
(Okay, I think that I’m done now–but wish I had some curry.)
Reading all of that makes my eye blurry.
Mmmm, brick fireplace! Will you paint the bricks to match the entertainment center? I shall miss your old artistically arranged EC, but shall look forward to the new artistic arrangements to come – as well as roasting marshmallows with ya’ll this winter!
