My First Post!

Well, I have finally done it. Decided to start an online journal. Why did I wait so long? Who knows?  Who cares? Why does it matter.  No one will probably ever read this so, what do I care.

With that said what wondrous thoughts are roaming through my head today??  Not much really, which isn't unusual.  Our basement is coming together nicely.  Expect to have the finishing touches on it by next weekend.  This will make both Marisa and I very happy as we have missed the tv room more then we ever thought we would.

I'll have to take some pictures and post, but for those not in the know, the last year has been a disaster here with plumbing. On 3 separate occasions we had to have the plumber out to clear out the lines.  Finally the plumber determined that we had a root problem where the main sewer and the house intersect and the only way to correct the issue was to cut up the cement and repair the joints. Of course this meant we had to have the bar (granite counter tops) removed.  To make a long story short our contractor was able to dismantle the bar, save the counter and re-install everything (Thanks Ira!).  So now it is just 3 little things left to do.

1. Install carpeting. Yeah, what are we thinking putting carpet in the basement?   A basement that has had water problems no less! I don't know. We'll see what happens. We did install Dricore subflooring systems so we should be ok, baring anymore plumbing problems. Carpet installation happens on May 19th.

2. Delivery of new furniture, this happens May 21st. Getting that recliner, hehehe....

3. Delivery of new 63" tv.  Not sure on this one, have to buy it first. Just not sure which one I want yet. So this one is still up in the air. Looking at the  Samsung PN63C7000 and/or the PN63C8000 just not sure if the 8000 is worth the extra $400. We'll see.
