A Living Room to enjoy living in

The living room was the last room to be remodeled in the front section of the house. We started by stripping the walls down to the studs. Then we replaced the windows with new windows that would actually keep cold air inside, and Randy removed the ceiling fan.

We hung drywall on the walls and ceiling, and started taping and sanding. More sanding. Always more sanding...

Eventually we got the walls, windows, and ceiling done and a few days ago the carpet was laid. And WOW, we have a living room! Soon we will replace the furniture - this came with the house and it's been nice to have it, but it's time for it to go.

The carpet looks great with the fireplace. Soon we'll install the shelves on either side of it. 

And Shorty has a place to lay in the sun! 

We have a few unusual things to work around, such as the built-out area for cold air return between the original mobile home and the original porch (which is now the dining room). We call those areas "features" and are finding creative ways to use them.
