One of the things on my 'to do' list while I was on vacation was to install the fireplace. I picked up all the necessities at the hardware store and it took me a couple of days to install, however once I was done I was very happy with my mission accomplished that the first thing I did in the morning was tried it out. I added some wood and made myself a fire. Yes it's August and no we didn't stay in the living room for very long, but wow it's such a great feeling when you accomplish something.
Bob took a bunch of pictures of the process; as I put a hole in the wall, as I laid down the ceramic, and as I screwed all the nuts and bolts to make it all fit. Now I didn't add those pics but Bob did take a few close-ups of me and my feet... and you will notice in some of the shots the amount of canine fur that my slippers had picked up. When you have 2 very big German Shepherds who tend to shed a whole bunch during the hot summer days, you tend to gather furballs under your souls.
There's some other shots of me relaxing, and eating, reading, doing some crosswords, and some in which I'm outdoors doing a bit of bird watching, and also a few shots of me lying down. In each section there's a couple of close-ups of my feet so I'm sure you'll enjoy this relaxing set of photos. |
