(commercial on tv, not more MJ craziness. We were watching SYTYCD.)
Instead of buying another tv and/or putting any hideous tv larger than the one we currently have in our home, we moved this one from downstairs. We hope to seriously decrease our tv watching, and make this room a place for watching movies and sports with family and friends!
The fathead is his early anniversary present (it's paper, it counts) , and well-earned reward for the hard work he put into this fabulous room.
Also, just to brag on my boy for a bit (hey, it's my blog, remember?)...
When David first started talking about this project he got a professional to quote out the whole job. It was going to cost $9,000. Yikes! Obviously that was when David stepped in and said "thanks, but no thanks" and did it himself. We just tallied up the receipts and I checked and double checked it because I could not believe what it said... the entire room (from insulation to paint and carpet) was completed for $2,741.11. That's $9.14/ sq. foot. That's $6,258.89 less than it could have cost! Granted, we made 32 trips to Lowe's or Home Depot between 1/10-7/4/09 (and those are just the ones where something was purchased... there were many 'research' trips too) but I'd say that it was all worth-while!
David rocks. I am so thankful for his hard work! Love you, Dave!! Thank you for this marvelous addition to our home.

looks wonderful minus that ugly "O"
Now it's time to come to my house to help me redo our basement ... which will now most definitely have to include an "IU" fathead (and maybe a blocked M too).
Good work guys. Can't wait to watch the Wolverines crush the Buckeyes later this year on that TV.
