Amazing!

Mike brought home this electric fireplace inset that he got for free. So last night he finally decided to build the mantel for it.
I always knew that my husband was a very gifted carpenter, but I am completely in awe of this fireplace surround that he built last night. Yeah that's right I said last night, he has this done in about 4 hours! He drew his own sketch, went to Home Depot to get his supplies, & started building it around 9pm, I remember him coming to bed shortly after 1am, and he said it was done!

I didn't see it until this morning, and I just can't stop looking at it! I still need to paint and glaze it, but i just had to post it, I am so proud of his work!

  4. It is beautiful! The fireplace would have had to sit in the garage for at least a year before my hubby would have even thought of doing anything with it!
