Pretty much done.....

So Steve has been working hard getting our fireplace mantle done. It looks GREAT!!! Rob and Steve put the crown molding on it (it took them a couple times but they did it), along w/ the other molding, and Steve painted it a couple times. He also painted the wall behind it again (there was a mirror there). We'll probably put up a smaller mirror in it's place. I'm sooooo proud of Steve. He did such a great job, especially for his first ever mantle!!! Check it out, our condo looks so much better!

Work in progress......

I've been wanting a mantle for our fireplace pretty much since we moved in. So....finally we're putting one in. Steve has been on spring break this week, but since he hasn't been feeling well, it was delayed a bit. Towards the end of the week though, we got a plan made up and went to work. Steve and Rob started Saturday afternoon and worked until the evening. We're not quite done, but it's looking great. We still need to put the molding on and then we'll paint it black. Here are some pics so far.

Fishing and Hiking

On Saturday, since the weather was sunny, we decided to go on a hike....and Steve wanted to do some fishing as well. He called Zach and Rob and they decided to come also. The hike was fun, though there was a good amount of snow on the path and at the lake. It was beautiful up there and the exercise was an additional benefit!
