Thank you. As some of you know, I'm a big fan of Facebook and I've commented on how it's helped my business out a lot. I post pics on there of what I'm doing, before and after and what I've built. I have a folder on there with the same pictures I post on here that my FB friends can see, but I also have all my pictures open up for anybody to see. Clients tell their friends about me, and they go to FB to see my pics. The pics of Oscar get more comments from clients then all my other pics combined, but sometimes I get hired because of a picture they see of something they want done at their house. The job I just started this week is a master bathroom remodel that my clients saw the pictures of my parents shower and called me to see what it would take to turn their 32 inch fiberglass stall into the same thing. I've had several calls from people I've never met who did the same thing for projects they wanted done and where looking for somebody to do it for them. Building this house for them has proven to have a variety of benefits for all of us.

I finished off the mantel with four clear coats of Minwax clear satin Plycrylic. I decided to go with lag bolts and metal brackets to hang the mantel. I had installed a header made from 2x8's and half inch plywood when framing the house, so I would have enough strength for whatever I decided to use for the mantel. I used 4 1/2 inch lags into the mantel and 3 1/2 inch lags into the header. It weighs somewhere around 100 pounds.
