Finished Project!

The upstairs is finished!! Mike has been working hard on the upstairs for the past month or so. He finished the entertainment center just in time for me to get to enjoy it for a few days before we left. The wood on the entertainment center is hand hewn to give it the log look. The pictures just don't do it justice!! If we were going to be staying in this house we would buy "real" furniture for this room...but for now a futon and bean bag chair will have to do ;)

This shows all the wood work Mike has done on the ceilings upstairs. It's amazing all that he's able to do with wood and a saw!
Brody loved "helping" Daddy work. I can't tell you how many times we've heard about "Daddy", "wood", and "saw" in the past few days. He's also been telling us about Daddy's "big hammer" and how Daddy "hit the box" (Mike busted up an old piece of furniture to burn in the wood stove in the shop). Tonight we had a video chat with Mike. As soon as Brody saw Mike he said, "Daddy saw wood!" I think Daddy Steve will have to come up with a few projects so that Brody can get his woodworking fix!

It is beautiful. Do you think he'd come to Ohio to finish our basement entertainment room??? I'm sure Brody and Preston would help.
