Hi, Sue:  been in a cleaning frenzy since the mantel and the fireplace surround has been completed--just in time for Christmas--yay!!  I just want to tell you that you REALLY OUTDID YOURSELF THIS TIME!!  The mantel looks AWESOME!!  As you know, I had some reservations with the changes you wanted to make in the design--you also know how much trouble I have with envisioning the finished product from a one-dimensional drawing; however, I placed my faith in your vision and I was truly rewarded.  Thank you so much for your suggestions--you MUST stop by to check it out--I never did treat you to lunch, did I?  (Was it because I mentioned that I don't like to cook ?)  Also, my thanks to Ben and Steve for the fantastic job they did putting the pieces together.  I am so glad that Burl and I accidentally found Kingwood when we were searching for kitchen cabinets--we could not have stumbled upon a better manufacturer.
