The removal of the floor took two nights, but will be well worth it when the new tile floor goes down. New electric and plumbing completes the room.

Pirates in the Playoffs on my birthday!!!
[caption id="attachment_80" align="aligncenter" width="680"] Pirates in the Playoffs on my birthday!!![/caption] BOX SCORE: Pirates 2, Cubs 1 Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field, and the Pirates threw out a runner at the plate for the final out. The Pirates sprayed each other with champagne and beer and sparking cider in the visitors' clubhouse once St. Louis' 4-3 win over the Nationals became final. The Cincinnati Reds also clinched at least a wild-card berth, when they beat the New York Mets 3-2 in 10 innings. The Pirates and Reds, both 90-67, trail St. Louis by two games in the NL Central with five to go.
Pirates and the Playoffs
The Pirates have finally clinched a winning season. Congratulations to the buccos! With 18 games left in the regular season, the Pirates still have a good chance at winning the NL Central division. The play-offs seem to be a certainty with the two top teams chosen as wildcards from each league.
The Pirates
Tuesday, the Pirates defeated the Brewers, 4-3, for their 81st win of the year. The victory, ensuring the club of its first non-losing season since 1992, improved Pittsburgh's overall record to 81-57. The 81 wins through 138 games are the most for the team since the '91 club had 82. My opinion is that their next win--the 82nd is much more important. That win will ensure a WINNING season. The Pirates have been playing like winners and will likely make the playoffs. Whatever the result of this season, the team, the fans, the owners will have a renewed winning tradition to follow.
