He worked on hauling old pipes and boilers out of the basement. I worked on stripping layers of paint off of the replacement fire surround. 
Why a replacement you might ask? The week before we closed on the house, someone jimmied the lock and stole the door off the summer cover!!!! Who does that???
Anyway, after trying unsuccessfully to find a suitable replacement door I found a beautiful one on eBay that fits the opening. Yay for me!!! Sadly, it's covered with numerous coats of paint so I've been stripping all of that off. Then we'll sandblast it and repaint. Should be quite beautiful when it's done ! Lot's of detail.
