Let There Be Tile
Just another quick fireplace update. There will probably be several of these in the next week. We put up the tile on the front of the fireplace this evening. And yes, that is duct tape. The two pieces in the top middle needed some support. Nice, huh? Anyway, the next step is grouting the tile and then we will be on to the mantle. I am hoping to have the mantle done this week end. ...
