One more thing...

So when we did the basement remodel last spring we left one tiny thing to do... the tile behind the wood stove. It has started to get cold and we decided we couldn't put it off anymore. Steve basically did the job in a day, you have to let things dry between coats so it takes a few days but the big mess and work was all done last Saturday. I love how it turned out and despite my love hate relationship with the wood stove, love the heat hate the mess, I am happy to have a fire again.
