Yes, tax returns are very fun

Isn't this great?? 42 inches of high definition plasma, baby. :)

It's very roughly installed at this point -- in fact the whole fireplace will be different once we're all done enclosing the conduit. The either side of the brick wall will be drywalled, surrounding both windows. (in case you haven't seen our house, the brick goes around both windows, forming a rather imposing wall of solid brick. :) ) Around the tv and insert, floor to ceiling will be flat stone - making the fireplace much less imposing. The tv will basically be flush with the stone at that point. The stone will extend all along the base and the top of the sitting area, too. (that is very cluttered right now, hehe) There will also be a new fireplace insert.

I hope that wasn't horribly confusing. It's hard for even me to get Tom's vision about some things. :) I'm so happy that he's willing to take on huge tasks like this though. It takes awhile, but the end result is so satisfiying. It's going to be super nice when it's all done.... heck, it's super nice now. :) Can't wait for football season!!
