Fireplace Finale

Does anybody else have spring fever around here or is it just me? This has been the warmest January in Michigan I can ever remember. We are meant to be going tubing this weekend. With what snow?!

I’m having thoughts of this-

and this-

and this-

and anxious for spring break.

So, I finally finished that troublesome fireplace. Went to Menards (or as my youngest, JJ, calls it- Nards) and picked up this stuff-

The consistency was much easier to spread and so much better to work with. I used a 2 inch putty knife and my fingers. Let me warn you- this stuff dries out the skin like nobody’s business. Here it is all finished-

Two other projects are already completed- meet me back here next week to here about them.

Anybody else out there come down with an early case of spring fever?
