What a week! Mary, Matt and I packed up the trailer and headed to Shen last Saturday and spent the rest of the week livin' it up HGTV style. Mary and I had compiled a list of tasks we wanted to accomplish throughout the week, and with the help of handyman Matt we got it all done and more. It also helped that Pete and Carissa were able to make it down later in the week. One of the things we accomplished was to disassemble old fireplace mantle, frame in new chimney, build new mantle. Check out the images of the progress made.
Old mantle off and preparing for the new chimney cover.
Puttying the drywall on the new chimney.

Bracing the panels that are glued to the side of the fireplace.
