Plaster, sawdust, and paint fumes

 I've been completely offline for about a week now, mostly because we'd stripped and painted the living room and have been waiting for carpet to get installed (hey, it's where my internet port is). Now that the carpet's in - was installed yesterday - the living room is covered in plastic sheeting and will be used to hold the kitchen and laundry room appliances so that we can get new vinyl installed tomorrow. I *might* be back to regular operating parameters by Friday. Maybe.

The house spruce-up is nearing completion, most of the interior is freshly painted and eleven years of dings, dents, scratches and other wear-and-tear are repaired. It's really looking gorgeous.

Our realtor is scheduled to visit on Monday to set up our marketing plan, and this is all coming together really, really well. My brother and uncle have both expressed interest in buying the house and don't think that we'll have too much trouble selling. I guess we'll see. :)

Anyway, we're all fine if a bit snowy, the weather has not been cooperating at all, but we're still on schedule and getting lots done.

I hope you all have a lovely week!
