Gfted1 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Completely redid my fireplace. Took out the ceramic logs and log holder thing, swept out all the lava rock and silica sand, replaced the gas feed to the burner and then put it back together. But instead of replacing the logs and holder we went with 1/4" fireplace glass rocks (copper and bronze color) and I installed a mirror finish stainless steel reflector on the back and sides. It came out awesome and the reflector really throws a lot of heat back into the room. Now I just need a new bear skin rug for in front. /giggity When you say you " redid your fireplace " did you do this work yourself or did you pay someone to actually do it for you ? The description of work is by someone who did it himself, surely. It's oozing with manly self-industrious pride. Okay you probably right, the reason I asked is I'm really not good at DIY so I'm an admirer of people who have the skill to do this type of work themselves Lol, as MISO correctly deduced, I did the work myself. Im actually very handy with regards to DIY mechanical and electrical work. If its simple I can usually just look at it and figure it out and if its more complex I'll break down and RTFM. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines I deduce that the last three months have involved you being lead into the trackless depths of the Peruvian rainforest by your cat, which is a reincarnated princess with a foot fetish. Patchy satellite coverage, and attacks by sweat-stained banditos meant you had little time for gaming. Returning with a fabulous treasure trove of emeralds and vintage National Geographic, you are now looking to settle on a tropical island with a small strangulated sounding dwarf.

You've been missed! =) Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Cantousent Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 My fingers have gotten to be so much thinner that my wedding ring kept falling off and I lost it a few days ago. This morning, my wife found it while we were cleaning the house! Huzzah! Now I'm going to wear it on my middle finger because it stays there better. We'll get it resized eventually.

LadyCrimson Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hey, Cant. ...hubby stopped wearing his ring because it kept falling off in the swimming pool in our old house. Since he wasn't wearing his, I figured I didn't have to wear mine. Ours were very cheap silver rings bought so we'd have something at the cheap ceremony. We were never into jewelry...but hubby is still very fond of his cheap ring, symbolically, even if he doesn't wear it, periodically asking me if I still have them stored somewhere (yes, of course). One day I mean to get us some decent titanium rings, but I'm not sure he'd wear it because it wouldn't be "the one". I'll have to come up with a special event to make him fond of a new one. “Things are as they are.
