At some point, hopefully sooner than later, he will run a telephone line down the inside wall so I can hook my 'puter up to DSL (He has rigged all the bedrooms to be DSL capable as well... AND they all have a working telegraph network.)
Since we have a futon, 3 desks, 6 wicker dining chairs, 2 end tables, a portrait display, plus all our regular furniture (2 couches, an overstuffed sofa-chair, an ottoman, a coffee table, a side table, and a television set) in the living room, it is much easier and more pleasant to spend time upstairs in the game room.

My, but you've been busy!!
Sounds like a righteous hobbit-hole, and no mistake!
