Black Friday Sales

Don't know if anyone will show up to work tomorrow (Monday) or not. Today, we decided to go ahead and capture a couple of on-line sales including the sunroom television and the bar sink disposal. For the TV, we determined a 65" diagonal screen would be the maximum we would want to mount above the fireplace. The horizontal dimension of the chimney breast above the fireplace is 68". The width of the unit we selected is 57". My first preference was to go with a plasma flat screen, but for less than one-half the cost, we finally opted for a Samsung LED (Model UN65H7150). It is a "smart" model with WiFi, so we should be able to use it to access our wireless internet network. The sale was for 45% off list (free shipping and no sales tax), but I have no doubt someone will offer it at a lower price tomorrow. The unit will be delivered on December 8. We will set it up in the MIL bedroom and enjoy it until the time arrives to install it in the sunroom. We did not order the wall bracket yet. We want to discuss how this unit will "sit" on the wall before determining the proper mount.
As for the bar sink disposal, we selected and ordered an InSinkErator Cover Control Plus Evolution 3/4 HP. This unit is supposedly very quiet and features a safety device which will not allow it to operate unless the sink drain cover is in place. Will keep little hands (and bigger hands of the inebriated) away from harm. This unit was discounted by 50%. It will be delivered this coming Wednesday (December 3).

While the weather today is very mild and sunny, there is a chance of rain turning to snow tonight. Monday and Tuesday are supposed to be dry and cool before the chance of rain comes back during the later part of the week.

I forgot on Friday, but I will call the cable company Monday and see when they intend to come out and reroute their cable through our new underground conduit.
