Some days

The roofers cracked up our concrete front steps a couple of years ago, and we finally got around to patching them this summer.

Then we got paint to seal them, which has sat on our front porch for months. Brian painted them last night.

And our ventless fireplace was delivered today. Which of course was dragged up the front steps, putting cracks in them.

I wonder if the concrete paint will help seal those broken edges?

I hate concrete front steps.

But I have a ventless (RealFlame, gel candle) fireplace now. Brian was going to lock himself in the garage with his armor, but I'm going to try to persuade him to put this fireplace together instead. :)

Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire!

It didn't take Brian long at all to put the fireplace together. It fits perfectly!
