because we finally have a finished, complete, mantle! I still remember when we first moved in back in April and I knew that T$ didn't like the mantle and it didn't really bother me one way or the other. I knew it would take a long time to make a new one so I insisted that I loved it and I didn't want him to touch a tile. I came home one day and it was GONE! Eight months later, we have a brand new mantle. And I must confess, it's 1,000,000x better than the original. Also, please appreciate that sports is on TV in nearly every photo where T$ is working.
Here is the mantle's evolution....

I find it funny how he's doing all that work in bare feet in the third picture.
