I was surprised to see it has been over two months since my last post. Work on the house hasn't progressed as much as you might think since then. We did get everything we wanted out of the house we bought in Arp. Since then we have moved my son and his family to Kaufman and my daughter and her family to Denver. We volunteered at the Formula 1 race in Austin, had our friend from LA (Lower Alabama) visit for a while and our friends Kent and Heather that we met when we were in the Bahamas came for a long weekend that included T+2 (our Thanksgiving celebration on the Saturday after Turkey Day). We have a neighbor that is clearing some pasture and we've so far cut about three cords of wood. Some of it is split and most of it is stacked.
On to some pictures of what we have accomplished...
A good bit of our time has been spent trying to get our bedroom door working. It's a bit.... different.

| Susan laying bricks for the pad the wood burning stove will sit on |
 |
| The finished product |
 |
| The mat for the heated floor in the master bathroom is figured out |
 |
| The mat is taken up and a cork underlayment is glued down |
 |
| Then the mat is put on top of the cork |
 |
| Self leveling compound is poured over the mat |
 |
| The flagstone that has been sitting in front of the house since forever is starting to be put in place |
That's it for now. I'll try to be better about posting. Right, I'm sure I will.
Take care.
Brian
