MY MANTLE!!!

When we moved in our house, the people that had moved out had literally ripped the mantle out of the wall. Russell had to do quite a bit of repair work to the wall. Since we've moved in I've frequently asked when I was going to get a mantle. FINALLY...one night last week Russell said 'I think I'm going to get the stuff to build a mantle." I was exstatic...I kept asking him when we were going to Home Depot...I didn't him to change his mind.

Last night he got quite a good start on it....and I think it looks REALLY good. I'm glad I have a handy husband.
