The Fireplace.


Tommy cutting the door jams

Jason, nailing the base boards

Troy, building the door jams



Troy, Tommy and Jason hung all of the doors and they have the base boards, window casings, crown molding and door jams all done in the one end of the house. The rest of the rooms just need the crown molding and the base boards and crown molding is needed in the hall ways. They have only been working on it all for two days and I'm sure they will finish up in one more day. Troy also put our antique mantel on the wall over the fireplace. Next the guys will come and tile the hearth and inside the mantel. The fire place is prettier than I even dreamed it was going to be. We bought the mantel in Wetumptka, Ala probably around 20 years ago. At one time it was in our dining room as a fake fireplace and then in the living room. It has spent the last three years in the barn, just waiting to be a " real fire place".....and now it is!!!! I can't wait to decorate it for all of the holidays. I wonder who's house it was in around 100 years ago? At least it's back in Alabama!
