so, now finally, on to the current project at hand. our house has been ripped apart for 6 weeks now. here are a few progress photos. i haven't taken the painted ones yet, but perhaps tomorrow. carpet is scheduled for next wednesday. yeah!! i'm just glad we had the apartment to stay in... what a total mess! .....soooo, after numerous tries, the computer isn't responding and i can't load photos right now. i think i'll turn it off for a few minutes and try again later.
