Fireplace Mantal

Happy Weekend ya'll! Finally!

I say finally because finally Mr. Ruffles

has some extra time to get my finished

projects up in the house..

I'm so excited to show you!!

First is a fireplace mantal I found off

of Craigslist, for only.... $50!

I drove about 45 miles to go get it, once

I got there we tried to fit it inside the back

of my SUV.. but, it wouldn't fit.

Not to worry, I have rope and bungy cords!

I was bound and determined to get this sucker home.

We ended up tying it to the top of my truck:

I had to drive all the way home

on one of the busiest streets in the area

going only about 30 - 35 mph.

(yep, I recieved several honkers

and a coupe middle fingers too!

Didn't care... I was getting it home!)

Here it is, off of the top of my truck

and in the garage ready for me to start:

All sanded down:

And, now.. finally finished and in my home:

LOVE!!

I also wanted to share with you

a couple of pictures of the chandy

I finished. 

It's finally hung up in the dining room:

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

For me, it's back to the garage now.

We're cleaning it.. oh fun! NOT!
