Once the walls and roof went up I just couldn’t wait to see what the furniture would look like. It took a long time before I did allow myself to do this as I was afraid I would loose interest in trying to finish it up. A long time you say from the initial building of the foundation, but we went through another house renovation and another move. Poor Garfield spends a lot of time shrink wrapped and moving around to find a home with a big enough room to house it.
