Man I do like all the mantle pix. I love to old wood styles. I tried to find a old carved Bar back for our bar but did not realize how much they cost. Holy smokes they were pricey!

Then it would be. "Car?? What car??"
Oh yeah. A vintage one can be insane. There was a modern build here for sale ... 3k.
Here's a bargain. Fire Mantle
This one reminds me of mine. Fireplace Mantel Piece
Here's another dandy. Fireplace mantle surround obo
Good am all. Speaking of boxes when I turned wrenches for GM at one of my fathers dealerships in Muncie, some one broke in over a long weekend and stole everyone's tools and boxes. Millions to replace. The snap on guy loved it. He got all his accounts paid in full and he sold us all new everything. We all joked he's the one who ripped us off. Insurance took the hit.

Mine is similar. Was a birthday gift about 10 years ago. Snap-on dealer wanted to sell me a new box, trade in was retail value on mine. I said no, for two reasons, it was a gift and a toolbox doesent make money.
Ray, the package may have landed! Tracking says its here in town. Wife will let me know
You just change your direct deposit to their account
That's what's nuts.
These people come in and don't even try to salvage the stuff for resale. it's just old junk to them.
There was a decdae or so in the 90s here where developers were gutting houses of this type of stuff at the same time theives were breaking into occupied homes to steal mantels, windows, dor knobs, etc for buyers - presumably out of state.
Gotta love owls. Here's a neighborhood Barred Owl. We have a pair that hang around the neighborhood. They like the conifer in our yard.
First floor mantels here are just decorative and the center has the warm air vent grill with a register control and a second control to allow warm air to the front rooms on the floors above.
Working fireplace was/is second floor rear "sitting room" or back parlor. Cookstove and oven was in the kitchen below and shared the chimney but have seperate flues.
Those are a little more 'arts and craft' style with tile surrounds.

I agree, Ted has been my demise on more than one occasion! Great guy! When him and TMM get together it is just a hoot to sit back and watch! The train wreck is inevitable every time!
