They said two weeks assuming it passes. I'm a little unnerved by this, though. I may have to check and make sure it's got the UL tag when I get it.

I would come up with a plan B on the chandelier. By the way congrats on the renovation. I know it's stressful, but how exciting when it's finally done.

But...but...it's the coolest chandelier ever. It's "The Wave".

(Mine's white crystal, not this darker color.)

Wow, that is a work of art.
When delays start happening, I start worrying that months and months may go by and I may still not get the item. I'd have a plan B in case you get tired of waiting. But that's just me.

Wow. That's hideous. When I look at it I get the urge to grab a chair and beat the hell out of it.

You just lost your invitation to my next dinner party.

Yeah, it is a little worrisome. We'll see how it progresses.

The challenge is that my dining room is very long and narrow, something like 11 feet by 22 feet. Conventional chandeliers won't really look good in it. We need something less round and more long, like "The Wave".

That's a little more plucked up than I thought it would be.

That is alot of work to do for a remodel, you must have money pouring out of your ***!

I'm hemorrhaging money right now on this remodel. It's brutal. By the time it's all over with, it'll be almost as much as I paid for the house ten years ago.

If you're going to live in it for a while and you're remodeling for your enjoyment, it's all good. On the other hand, if you're remodeling to sale right now, your timing ain't too good.

Nothing's ever predictable, but the plan right now is to have my heirs sell the place in 2073 after I die peacefully in my sleep.

You might want to show your heirs that chandelier before you install it.

The house turns 100 next month, and we're hoping to either get an article in the local paper, which has a weekly "check out this house" article on Saturdays, or get it on the local home tour.

Good for you RM. It needed it. No offense.

A real man would just install one of these in his dining room:

Today's a big day. At six o'clock, we'll pulley the bed and bedroom furniture up the outside of the house and in through the new balcony. The stairs have two 90 degree turns, so we can't just carry them up.

If all goes well, I'll be sleeping in my new bedroom tonight. If all goes poorly, I'll be sleeping on an air mattress with my furniture in splinters in my back yard.
