Ken has been working really hard this week on the bricking of the fireplace area.  Amazing all the work that goes into this...but I know in the end it'll be beautiful!   Haven't heard yet when the panelling is shipping but I called this am and they said either today or Monday..In my mind I see the end result of the living room and know it'll be beautiful!  

We are going to Ca on Sunday for Jacob's 12th birthday party and to pick up our "yard art" from KC's house.  We'll be back on Monday and then to Reno on Tuesday to drop off the truck to see if they can fix the cold starting problem.  Then it's time to get ready for Thanksgiving.
