Fireplace = CHECK :)

So remember that the fireplace was one project on our list.. 

There were a lot of steps to complete, to mark this one off : Rock, Mantel, Crown, Base, Paint, TV

Well it is all DONE! As of yesterday we have a fireplace with a nice brand new 46" TV above it. 

Merry Christmas to us. lol That is our gift to each other!

SO here are a few pictures of the process/progress.

1. sheetrock keeping our nice ac/heat inside the house

2. Jon ripped the sheetrock off so Derrick could make the mount for the huge mantel

3. Jon putting plywood and "frame" up

4. LATH ouch this stuff always cuts him up...but it holds the rock on lol

5. Jon is spraying rock on 

6. Big David handing Jon the hopper with rock in it. (Iphone pictures)

7. Big David carving out the rock pattern.

TAAADAAAA!

It got to late yesterday and the paint was still wet on the base board so I didn't get to sweep and mop the floor. The surround needs to be cleaned as well. 

And here is the sample TILES I went and chose my tile from for the shower last week. 

I'm waiting on the tile guy to come by and measure so I can get the tile ordered!
