The new fireplace

Today our new fireplace was installed and we love it!  It's a little bigger with darker wood for the mantel and a deep mantel top which holds Christmas decorations, photos, etc. much better.  Here are some pics:
 This is what our fireplace has looked like for the past 11 years.
 Dustin and David begin the dismantling.
 Mantel is gone...what's next?
 The tile, what else!
 Mantel and tile gone; next step the fireplace insert.
 The toughest part of the job but these guys did well.
 Underneath the tile and wood and plaster, a house really isn't very glamorous!
 Installing the new insert.
 Tired but happy installers--thanks guys for a job well done!
 Now Santa can come down our new fireplace!
