@frmboyinthecity we are nearing the end of our living room!!! I have all the wainscoting complete except going back the hall, hubs did my faux electric stove installation, I love it, our coal stove is in the lower level but its nice to take the chill out in the livingroom in the early morning before we stoke up the coal stove! He wanted to do the v pattern above the stove but I refused to let him do it! he wanted a mantel and I made him do a faux stove pipe instead. he thought I was nuts, but I love it and no mantel to dust! We still need to do the pallet molding around the top of the room but its been raining again so no ripping boards outside.

I think 30 days is too long. Take your freshest eggs (laid by hens within the past two or three days) and put them in the incubator. Read Sally's article. It summarizes everything I have learned too.
