A Mantel for the Back Porch Fireplace

There is a point in life when one needs a little help from friends with DIY projects. We asked for help with this project. We stained the mantel, someone put it together for us.

Over the years we've discussed a mantel for the porch fireplace. November 2012, we decided we are definitely not getting any younger and made the decision to get going on the project.

Of course there were a couple of little glitches; weather, time, and health.

The first week of February 2013 the project got underway.

The porch is protected, so we decided to give water based stain a try. We'll see how that goes, for now. #Itching4Spring
