Several of you asked what kind of projects we have underway as a result of our recent home improvement prioritization. We've knocked out 2: fixing our kitchen cart (which I had nearly rendered unusable due to the force exerted by my hand-crank pasta maker) and converting our WBFP to gas (for those of you who haven't spent hours scouring classified ads for apartments with a WBFP, that means "or wood-burning-fireplace"). We love wood, but, due to some poor design, the smoke from our WBFP went straight into the intake for the heat upstairs, where it blew into our closet, right on my hanging clothes. So, gas will mean more frequent fires and a less stinky me.
This weekend, we undertake project #3 (cleaning out the basement). Project 4 may involve a Christmas gift for Carter, so I won't speak of it here until then, lest he learn to read or one of you let it slip! AND we're getting estimates for our largest (and most highly desired) project, which may or may not happen, depending on the size of the estimates... We'll keep you posted!

The new gas fireplace looks so realistic that I was completely fooled. Even down to the embers beneath the logs. All the ambiance and none of the soot!
Wow, glad you told me about the fireplace - Santa was going to bring you some fatwood. But you will LOVE the gas - it takes a lot less time to clean up! Granny B
