Dance Floor and Neill's Room

As I explained, we have converted the dining room into our dancing room and bar (and office).  

For a more authentic dance floor experience, the carpet can be rolled under the desk:

I had plans to reduce the rent, but I took a poll of the roommates and they were in favor of keeping the rent at its existing level, and instead taking a share from each month's rental income and placing it into a fund for activities, or whatever else we elected to use that money for.  I had this idea last month when Angus was doing the Polar Bear Plunge.  I made a donation on behalf of the house, and thought it might be fun to do something like that every month. 

This past month's set-aside was less charitable.  We put it into our bar.  Specifically, we wanted to learn more about Scotch, so I purchased a selection of single malt scotch from all the major whisky producing areas of Scotland.  We broke the budget on this one, but we have the finest Scotch collection anyone could ask for.  

The other project was just completed tonight.  I painted Neill's bedroom, and rearranged his furniture.  I went with him to Home Depot yesterday so he could pick a color, and I finished painting it today.  It was a very time consuming job, since I had to use two coats of primer on all the molding and walls, and then paint the walls and the moldings again. 

I'm very happy with the way it turned out.  It's a very pleasant and cheery looking room now.
