What began last June is finally finished! The fireplace is now so beautiful!
It only took us seven months to complete this little projects, but I believe that Darin and I have learned a lot about ourselves and about home improvement projects. Here are a few things we learned:
1. If you can afford it, get a professional to do tile.
2. Never work side by side with chisels during high stress times.
3. If something is not completely secure with liquid nails, the kids will find a way to pry it off.
4. Do not blame your spouse for accidentally hitting the new mantle with a hammer, when you discreetly did it moments before.
5. Do not try to take shortcuts ahem Darin.
6. Do not be a perfectionist ahem Meredith.
Well, even if it took us so long to finish this little project, we really love our new fireplace.
