wainscotting ahoy

We've just about finished our first room!







It took us most of the day to get the crown molding up. What a task! Especially when you only have hand tools! It worked out pretty good in the end, though. Tomorrow it just needs one more coat of paint on the moldings, and then it's done! We'll be putting furniture in it tomorrow as well, so I'll post a before and after shot, just so you can realize the true immensity of the task we are about to complete.
Other than that, we have not much news. We've been getting some pretty good mail in the last two days - thanks Mom and Grandma! I guess this is as close to a letter as I'll be doing for now. So "Hi!" I really love hearing all your news.
It was cold here today, hovering around zero, but it was also sunny and crisp. It was actually really nice, the night sky was just beautiful right after sunset. I had to go out and buy some halloween candy, it's starting to feel like Halloween around here. They have a thing called the Pummpkin People that's mostly in Kentville, but seems to be spreading through the valley. People seem to really have fun setting up big tableaus. It gives us lots of good ideas for next year! This is the only one we actually have a picture of so far:


And here's some pictures of Webster and Peanut. As you can see, Webster has gained a little bit of weight, although he would probably tell you it's just fluff...
