I hired someone to come in and remove my wood
stove and install a fireplace. I chose a wood burning fireplace and had a
gas log put in it. Even though I had tiled before, due to the heat issues, I decided to hire a professional to install the marble around my
fireplace. Then I needed a mantel. One of my neighbors was having a
man do some work for her and she mentioned to him that I was looking for someone
to build a mantel. I told him what I wanted and he assured me he could do
it. He started on it, left, came back, worked on it a bit, left, came
back, worked on it a bit more and then decided he couldn't do it. I think
he was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown so I was actually glad to see
him go. Except for then I was stuck with a half done mantel. So, I
figured out what had to be done and finished it myself. I later removed the molding (It was suppose to
be dental molding but he had just taken a 2x2 and made cuts at about 1 inch intervals with a saw)
and replaced it with a nice molding, then
painted it white to match the rest of the mantel.
