Fireplace Update.
More than three and a half years ago, Casey Bert ripped out the old fireplace in our living room. Each Christmas, as has been told previously, there is the promise: "Fire by Christmas." Hope rises. Christmas passes. The hole in the wall remains. However . . . we DO have an arch now. Casey's first. The arch before Casey removed the supporting form. The stone carver, his apprentice, and the evolving masterpiece. Looking more and more like a fireplace, I must admit.
