Okay, sooo......

I got the railing painted and for decorating. I did not finish getting the overhang fixed, so I still have that to do before I can hang the lights. Kathy and I have decided to install two fireplaces- one in the living room and one in the main hall, one right above the other. Should be easy to put in, but it will be later.

When pulling out the rotten boards of the entry hall, I found that not only was the floor joist rotted, but the space between the floor and the ceiling below was filled with dirt and pecan shells and shredded cloth= rats! I filled three trash bags with the detritus and removed the remains of the floor joist. I'll replace the joist, re-deck the floor, cover with hardi-backer, and then tile the entryway. Working just a couple of hours a day should see this done well before Christmas.
