Jenn:  Actually that would work.  It would look a little shabby but what the heck.  Found an easier solution.  Called our home warranty company and they will be out with a new grate tomorrow morning.  Total cost &#036;55 (U.S.)  You know if you throw enough money at anything you can usually fix it.  Except perhaps the auto industry. LOL  Just joking, Deb.<br /><br /><img src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x166/kimmie1956/throwingmoneyaround.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />Deb: Why the balance test??  Must have missed that post.<br /><br />Jenn: How about marshmallows for snow??  But, you live in Canada, just wait a bit and you will up to your butt in the real stuff. <br /><br /><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/vananunez/209.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
