Finally time to start using that hole in our living room.  We were originally thinking of installing a Mendota Gas insert, but after seeing how compact it looked I was on the fence.  We decided on just doing a gas conversion which looks so much better and strangely is less than 1/3 the price.  I’m hoping we can get this all done by November so we can enjoy some cozy winter nights by the fire.

Hopefully this will get me going on the Indian slate install, then the mantle and surround project I have been putting off for a year.

We are getting the 5 Burner system that looks like this

I added a new category for Health & Fitness since it’s become a much larger part of our lives.  How big can it be you ask?  Since Ayoe and I started the P90x program we have spent 1764 minutes (29.4 hours) in the basement with Tony Horton working out from August 1st – 31st.  All we had to do was give up a few hours of TV time every night.

Before we started I had lost 30 pounds thanks to weight watchers and I am now able to partake in a more intense workout schedule.  We have been following the daily regimen and seeing some sweet results.  I’m glad she’s working out with me, It’s helping me keep on track.  As a bonus she’s sprouting some wicked muscles…
