Brandi’s dad was here for about 8 days and we spent a four day weekend in Washington, DC. Pictures to follow probably. We did several Smithsonian museums and went to Library of Congress. I had forgotten that IKEA is just off the interstate on the way home. It’s visibility from said road cost me about $350. We got some good stuff, though. We’re actually considering an IKEA Kitchen now.

I’m getting ready to go to Champaign-Urbana for a couple of days on a recruiting trip to my alma mater. From there I’ll rent a car and spend a couple of days with my family.

None of this has lent itself to completing work on the house. The current projects include weather-stripping doors, installing a bathroom fan and GFI outlets in the bathroom, and improving ventilation in the attic. We just realized that there is nothing between the hearth in our living room and the sky above the chimney. I’m stunned that no one has corrected that in the over 50 years that the house has existed. Amazing. Pictures of it soon, too.
