We hope that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. Not having to work for about a week and a half has been nice, however progress on the house has been slow. The contractor shorted the sheetrock order by 30 some sheets. He then ordered more and shorted the reorder by 10 sheets. Come on man. Its not rocket science. Now the sheetrock hangers won't come back to hang 10 sheets so I guess the contractor will have to do it. Great, now I get to hear him whine some more. Below are some shots of the sheetrock after initial taping and mudding. Happy New Year folks!

| Mantle I've been working on. A co-worker brought it to me from Tazewell, VA. Its poplar, came out of an old barn and has some nice hand hewn marks on it. My neighbor and I cut the ends off a bit with a chain saw and then we used his sawmill to square the back up nice. I'm going to brush the dirt off of it and leave it natural. |

| Well, here is ole Rocky the 7 week old mini weenie dog. My wonderful in-laws "surprised" Kennedy with him for her 7th birthday. There was no consultation with us whatsoever so we were quite surprised as well. I have to say this is a pretty sweet breed. He about the most loveable animal I've ever had and has such a personality already. |
