My project

I spent 3 nights with this fireplace, transforming it from a dark, dingy, dirty thing to what you see on the bottom right! I am very pleased with how it came out. Brad did help a bit with it as it was a HUGE job (and not overly fun...)!! He spraypainted the inside black and him and his dad are going to tile the hearth.
The basement is really starting to come together. On Monday the drywallers are coming again to work on the new stairway and the hall and laundry room. When they are finished we have to paint (so all you who have volunteered to help - you're on call!) and the next Monday carpet is coming! I can't wait!! What a glorious day that will be when that floor disappears!
