MCM pool table going on the market

We're selling our pool table as it won't fit in the new house (boo hoo hoo!). It's quite a lovely mid-century design. Maybe you find it attractive? If so, email me or leave me a comment. We're using it for our xmas party in 2 weeks and then it's outta here.

Oh, and it works well. Needs new felt due to some sun damage, but it's a solid table. Played a game of 8-ball and 9-ball with Celia today, and she was almost as good as I was. I should be better than a 4-yr old, right?

Trees be gone

We had tree guys come and take 2 evergreen trees down yesterday. They were growing in the power lines and right in the way of the new drive we're creating from front to back yard, so they had to go. Plus we get a bunch of firewood. So it's all good.

Except for the fact that the tree guys' chipper was stuck at some other site (ice-on-road issue, if you buy that), so we currently have 2 giant trees' worth of branches in our front yard. I haven't seen it myself (as I'm afraid to do so), but needless to say, I'm sure the neighbors hope the chipper shows up today.

Here's an artistic representation of the trees before and after:
This is potentially not good for our standing in our new neighborhood. Chipper, please come soon!

Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, Greg, Paul and Ryan head to the city office to try to get permits today. Good luck, boys.

Prutting and Co.

Oh, forgot to say that we're working with Andrew Friedman at Prutting and Co. for the construction. Prutting's portfolio is outta sight. Check it out here!

Budget rationalized; project moving ahead

It's been a few weeks of budget review and "value engineering" (read: cutting things out), but now we have something that we may be able to afford building. Hooray!

Greg goes in for permits next Wednesday. Fingers crossed for quick decision making on the part of the county permit guys.
