Today Just Flew Right By

Just ... Derby

Today just flew by with nothing really accomplished

except for working on the last row of the quilt below

and the fireplace surround being delivered.

Today I decided who will receive this as a holiday gift.

I'm thinking of making another one using this style of block.

 The fireplace surround has arrived all the way

from Canada.  It's not every day you see an

18-wheeler in this neighborhood.

 We paid for 'inside' delivery which means they will only

go up one threshold so it was placed in the garage.

The first thing that's been placed on the new floor.

 The driver didn't have any tools to remove the

metal strapping surrounding the skid so we had

to ask Juan and Dominic if they could lend a

tool or two.  This is one heavy mantel and I can't wait

to see it installed.  I think Dominic will head up the

install team.  He is working on installing the three

ceiling fans and the new lighting for the master bathroom.

He has also removed the sink from the powder room.

Thinks are moving along.

We did a minor inspection and found two little

chips out of a corner of one piece.  This is the 

top mantel piece.  It's going to take several guys

to lift this up.  Hopefully, this will get installed

by next week because it has to done

before the floors get sanded and re-stained.
