I gotta brag a little, my wife laid the brick and rock-hearth, exterior, porch posts and steps. We made the mantle stone, Quickcrete and dye....
A little better pic. This is ~30 year old artificial tree that was given to us 12 years ago. The price on the box is $49.99, the good old days:(...

FYI, I helped a friend add 8" on top of the existing 4" in his attic recently, roughly 1800 sqft. I think he said the insulation cost $550 at...
