well it looks like it's going to take a bit longer... but we should have it completed by next weekend (as my hubby works 18 hour days during the week)...

we are grouting the rock today as the 'experts' wanted us to leave it longer than 24 hours since the rock is so heavy.

we have the glass for the front door... 36"x18" and i need to go out and pick up the vents today (getting heavy duty plastic ones)

i heard from dave and tracy barker... as i sent them a link to this thread and asked them what their advice was... they feel his swelling is from rubbing and gave my vet some suggestions... which i forwarded to my vet's email addy...

i can't wait to get this done!!!
