Reno nearing completion

Wow. I haven't posted to the MoonTower in a while, and now I am flooding it with schtuff. Have been so heads-down in work and the home reno stuff, I have barely had enough time to check my blogs!

The renos are (finally) nearing completion. Tiling is in, and the carpet gets laid (ha ha) on Tuesday in the family room and home office. We had to do a major purge of our collective office stuff over the last week, and we ripped out the trim, painted and installed new trim on the weekend to get ready for the carpet. Once that is in, the Christmas tree should go up, and the holidays can begin (sort of).

Thursday, our new IKEA home office shows up between 1-6pm. Armed with only a screwdriver, an allen wrench, and bad Swedish instructions, I hope to have that installed by Friday. And some time this week, 2 of the pictured club chairs are arriving. These will be the first major furniture purchase for us, beyond the entertainment unit and the HDTV, so its pretty exciting.

We decided to push to get the whole friggin' floor done before the end of the year, and we are going to be close. Its been a lot of effort over the last few months - hard to believe it started with ripping out that old fireplace back in June. Once everything is in, I'll take some panoramic shots and post them.

That's what's been up at my house.
