Notes - fireplace or no


        Time for bed. Another really busy day, the house is in better shape; Jill comes tomorrow. The garage still needs lots of work. The big question tonight is whether to get the corner stone fireplace or not. We have to tell them tomorrow. We just got the price today. Not cheap, but very pretty. Gas, not wood-burning. We have never had a house without a fireplace. Why? We like the mantle and brick. We could easily like the mantle and stone. Would we regret not having the fireplace more than having the fireplace? That's the question daughter Kim said towards the end of the phone conversation tonight (about ten minutes ago).


       You did make other decisions too; trim around all the downstairs windows and no fourth window in the master bedroom. The fireplace is a structure item; they did not have a price until about noon today partly because they did not want to build any more corner fireplaces. That decision came after M/I told you they could. Something to sleep on. You are both getting more excited about this adventure of building. Good. This is good for you and Carol for a variety of positive reasons. Sleep on it. Post. - Amorella
