Refaced the fireplace

Since we didn't have any camping to do this weekend and I needed to do some work on the trailer anyway It seemed like a good way to spend the weekend, When removed the cabinet where i put our fireplace i didn't move the TV connections or the power supply. I Really didn't see a need at the time,That came back to bite me only one time when we were camping where antenna useless but they had cable(go figure). So I pulled the fireplace and moved the antenna connection to the back of the cubby hole to the left of the radio and ran the antenna lead though the side of the cubby to connect it. Now there is easy access. The power outlet behind the fire place had wires so short I could barely pull it from the wall. So it it is still there unused for now. TV power cord is now routed to the outlet next to the slide out.

But while I had the fireplace out, I decided to reface it. To lighten it up some for when it isn't in use. I still have a bit of touch ups to do, but we're happy with the results.
