New fireplace is in

What a busy winter this has been so far.  Here are a few pictures of the before and after of our main floor fireplace.  You can read previous posts for the background…

Before:

After the new hearth tile was put in (not grouted yet):

After (the flash doesn’t show the flames very well so I included a blurry one without the flash):

   The pictures above show the fireplace with the gas logs installed.  We had ordered coals instead of logs, but they were out of stock.  They have since come back and switched them, but I haven’t taken any photos.  Maybe later…
