Who Needs a Fireplace (aka John's "Day off")

John wanted to made clear that this was all my idea and that was not what he had planned to do on his day off. Now that that is straight, below are pictures from the removal of the fireplace hearth and facade. Since we put in the new door and took at the window, we have been contemplating building the mudroom. Removal of the fireplace is part of that project. As you can see, Caleb was acting as laborer/foreman of the project :)
