Working on the screen issue now. I finally got the mantel up. It was a hickory tree from my old house walkway, next door, that blew down in a freak storm a few years ago. Finally got it cut up with a chainsaw and then got a friend with a sawmill to trim it, then we sanded it over last Thanksgiving, and put multiple layers of finish on it, then had to find a time when we had enough muscle to put it up there. So put it up last weekend. I was christened with a great fire that evening too.
