The weather here in NJ has been brutal this year. Temps in the low teens most days and a snow storm or two to keep commuting to work a challenge. Ironically, the temps in the Black Hills have actually been a little warmer though nowhere near balmy. Hopefully February will bring warmer weather for both places (February 1st has started well with 42 degrees and up for the weekend!)
So the Professor found out that his shoulder surgery will be in May...bummer. We were hoping we would see it over with by the end of March at the latest so we'll have to remain flexible as to when we are actually moving - he needs to complete his rehab and get the okay from the doctor -
In the meantime, he'll be going out to SD to finish the entryway tiling. That completes the inside though I do want to paint the bedrooms and guest bathroom - hopefully we can get that done before May - but I'll keep you posted
Here is a photo of one end of the dining room - It's an odd angle but I wanted to get in the beams, the stacked fireplace - it is a gas fireplace with a see-through firebox to the family room and the chandelier which we installed ourselves. I actually did the wiring since the Professor couldn't raise his arm high enough due to his shoulder so he walked me through what to do and voila! I'll try and get more photos next week - I am being picky about the photos simply because I think the rooms can look pretty blah until they're furnished no matter how good the photography so there will be more to come over time.
Bye for now !
