Today we joined the contemporary technology age. A couple of years ago we purchased a flat screen HD TV, but the DVD and DVD/VCR players were 6 years old and older, so watching videos was iffy. In December as we had the basement project well under way, we replaced the TV with a larger flat screen Plasma TV for the main part of the house planning on moving the slightly smaller HD TV to the basement. This move ended all use of movie watching unless the movie was on cable TV as we could get picture but no sound. Yesterday, we hung the TV in the basement and today we purchased 2 DVD/blue ray players that connect via HDMI cables instead on the old school triple cable system connections and a 6 bin bookcase to go under the basement TV to hold one of the players, movies and board games for the kids.
After assembling the ping pong table yesterday, the bookcase today, and setting up the players, we can watch TV and movies upstairs, and movies in the rec room. Tomorrow, a double recliner to join the couch will be delivered to finish the basic seating for the rec room. We are still seeking a couple of bar stools made by a craftsman in Floyd, VA, but so far, we haven't found his information at home and won't see him at a craft show until July if we can't turn up his contact information.
Someday, we plan to buy a pool table to join the ping pong table. We still need to install the roman shades, purchase the quilt for the bed, remat a painting and hang it and then we will be ready to enjoy this project that has been in the works since early November.
As far as puppy progress, we have had two good walks on a populated trail with our reluctant shepherd pup this week, including a meet and greet with an adult Golden that went well. Hopefully we have turned the corner on her fear and stubbornness. Now we need to teach both of them to come when called with consistency, not just when they are ready.
