Everybody Knows that kitchens and bathrooms is where everything starts, but moving forward, its about mastersuites and indoor and outdoor places people are spenting their time there and getting back their investments. you are talking about tvs outside and outdoor kitchens. Outdoor Living is another place where people get the wrong impression. they think they have to do this fully allencompassing issue, but im a advocate of creating a manageable idea, keeping it more like a pocket and allowingbuffering, more manageable. thank you very much, chip. ive been picking his brain talk to him, hes brilliant. thanks. final check of the forecast. the big story this weekend is the massive storm hitting the north and east, northeast and southeastern states. this astronaut, scott kelly, posted these amazing pictures, showing the huge snow storm as seen from the International Space station, and it stretches over 1,000 miles and you can along the coast. cool to see it from space but not so cool to be stuck in it on the ground. the folks dealing with the drifting and blowing snow and the shoveling and the cold and the ice and the power outages, it really is tough. for us weve got it pretty easy by comparison. cloudy skies this morning and a little sun this afternoon, and well make the upper 20s but it wont feel that way, the brisk winds keeping the wind chills in the lower 20s and upper between into the evening. the sunshine moves in tomorrow, good news, and we get our temperatures into the 30s. how about that . it will feel like a major warmup. thank you very much. thank you very much for being with us. you can tune back in for channel 3 news starting at 6 00 and check out wkyc.
