After coming down with a case of the Shingle, work has slowed a bit.  I found I could only work for a short bit then have to rest.We did however manage to finish putting up the special wall board (Schluter Board) behind the wood stove that will eventually have a rock facing.And we finished plastering and painting the pantry.  Here I am putting up the vent pipe that is part of our whole house ventilations system.  It was ugly plastic so I painted it silver.The old pantry shelf that we kept from our house in Toledo.Jeff having fun organizing.

Now we are going to work on a raised wood stove hearth.
