Remodeling - What a Mess!

Not only have we been remodeling our shop and warehouse, but we are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen at home. There is simply no where to go to get away from the mess of stuff everywhere and dust. Where does this dust come from? Why do we surround ourselves with so much stuff? No matter how much we are trying to keep our lives under control everything just seems to have a life of its own and it keeps growing.

The kitchen remodel is the result of a small fire that was caused by our microwave oven. No kidding, it just started itself on fire without even being in use! Imagine walking into the room and seeing it filled with black smoke and flames shooting from the microwave and cascading down the front of the oven to the floor. The local firemen that came to make sure our house wouldn't burn to the ground said that they had never encountered a fire source like this. They said that we were LUCKY to have been at home when the fire started or we would have lost the entire house. Our insurance carrier has sent the microwave oven to a fire specialty company to try and find out why it suddenly burst into flames.

We have just about finished our business remodel and will soon have a sale. We will have all instock items on sale from 30% to 70% off: Howard Miller grandfather, wall, mantel and alarm clocks, lamps, accessories, occassional tables, some window blinds, shutters and draperies, etc. that are in stock.
