Hiding my Fury with More of Andy's Handy Work

Ok, first, and most importantly, I just want to say that Andy went and delivered the bills to the neighbor. The wife answered the door with the video camera in her hand and said that they're not paying anything because Daisy was visciously barking and trying to bite her husband and they thought she had rabies! Then she proceded to call the police on Andy for trespassing!!! The policeman totally took our side, talked to the neighbor that rescued her, and said that those people are really bad liars and that he's taking it before a judge to get a warrant to arrest the man! Can you believe it?!?!?! I'm trying to calm my fury by blogging about other things, so here are the other things:


We've done TONS of work to fix up this house, and one of the things includes updating the fireplace. Before it was pretty basic with no hearth to speak of - just black slate flat on the floor. When Andy layed (laid? - I get confused on that one - where's grammar.com when I need it!) the hardwood floors, he broke up the slate and trashed it, and then built up the hearth and covered the whole thing with stone. This is the best picture of the old fireplace that I could find. (Alli's first day of preschool - the other two's pictures didn't show as much of the fireplace - she was 3 - isn't she precious?!)


And here is what the fireplace looks like now:


Much better, huh?

What a bunch of idiots! Now the man will probably face jail time and most definitely have to pay you back!

The fireplace is gorgeous! Tell Handy Andy to come help me fix mine, b/c it looks like your before pic.
