matt...you're awesome

So this is what my husband did over Christmas....built a chandelier out a a wagon wheel.  I honestly really have no idea what that entails, but I do know that he started with a wooden wagon wheel and ended up with a working light fixture that was hanging from his parents' cabin ceiling.  That's awesome in my book. 

I had to include these pictures of the wagon wheel being hung because it was an ordeal that involved 5 men and two women (us other women were on babysitting duty so that means we helped, right), metal scaffolding, a heavy duty pulley, and lots of ingenuity. Oh and did I mention that it was hung like 50 feet in the air (matt says more like 30, but it looks like 50 to me!) Btw, I took these pictures while standing in the loft. 

And the finished product....beautiful.
