his birthday present

i'm not one to show off.... ha! ok sorry. but really, i've never taken the time to show off my super talented husband. so here goes.
all he wanted for his birthday was a baby kitten... No.  so instead he begs me to let him buy a pellet stove off of KSL.  if i get a mantle i can decorate out of it...? you betcha.
it was a process i never want to do again, but i love my mantle.
my husband loves, i repeat, LOVES, to build things.  sometimes it seems like he is just a little boy playing with his toys... just occasionally needs a little refocusing.
so for his birthday, literally on the night of his birthday we started building a fireplace.


the brick is from the old Provo library  before it was
redone and matches our exterior brick.

yep, thats the offspring drilling a hole for some pipe of some
sort because the husband couldn't fit underneath and he
forgot to drill it before hand.... yes i was that mom that instead of
stopping the potentially dangerous situation i took a picture and
put it on instagram.



side note: i helped carry this SOB in the house.
im pretty sure it weighs 800lbs give or take a few.




all painted and finished.  the bottom center panels
are actually drawers that store the pellets and supplies.
drey got creative with all my letters for decor.
i'll give props to Wreck it Ralph for the quote.
