Today I set about repairing some things and moving some others. I nearly have the windows in the living room repaired. Whoever put in the new windows did a terrible job of repair but then they were going to be covered by wall paper so looked alright. Spent most of the morning getting the mud on and smoothed out---it wasn't dry yet at dinner time so will have to wait until Monday to get sanded and new caulking put on to seal the frames. That will be fun. I always hate the caulking!
Fixed and sanded all of the holes in the walls that we have taken the wall paper off from in the living room---it is going to look really nice with new paint.
Moved the TV downstairs a little to square it up with the walls---one whole side fell off of the entertainment center when I started to move it. Can't imagine what happened with the break but suspect that Native Minnow or MJ (or maybe both) could probably fill me in. The repair was really easy. I went to the hardware store with one of the broken braces and a screw that held it on. The guy at the store took me into his cabinet shop---gave me 5 new braces (metal this time) and 15 new screws. I was tickled and wanted to know the price---he said I'll just give them to you...and he did. They fit perfectly and only took a few minutes to install. I put gorilla glue on the sides that touched the other wood too so the repair should hold for a very long time (at least until the next time that we move it).

Or they will hold until the next party at your house. :)
