Comments on: Fake Fireplace http://www.crankyoldhouse.com/fake-fireplace/ journaling the headaches of fixing up an old house Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:15:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Joe http://www.crankyoldhouse.com/fake-fireplace/#comment-94 Joe Sat, 27 Jan 2007 04:01:34 +0000 http://www.crankyoldhouse.com/fake-fireplace/#comment-94 Yeah well. The bookcases are holding up and are much more functional than that old mantle. Still thinking about getting another one and just nailing them permanently to the wall. My one regret about the mantle is that I tossed it in a dumpster instead of selling it. Some of the fake ones that you nail or glue onto the wall (to outline those electrical fireplaces) go for a nice wad of cash at places like Home Depot. Crap. Yeah well.

Looks awesome. I can't believe you destroyed that mantle though. Even though it was basically useless, it was still interesting looking. Sometimes I wonder about you.... I mean you'll preserve some parts of the house, but then not think twice about scrapping a central piece of woodwork that someone probably spent a lot of time working on. lol. I like the bookcases.
