Speaking of the house, here are a few pics to show the progress under way.

There is still a little molding that needs to be finished around the fireplace. Trust me it's come a long way though. The white under the new chair railing is wainscoting instead of that nasty wallpaper.
The pictures don't even do it justice. The work has been MUCH more than paint. Not to mention, Mark is rewiring each room by as he goes. I'm very proud of him!
I'll try to find some more pics. For some reason I can't find the others on the computer.
