And the wall's sealed too!

While I was working on various other things this weekend, my wife got a couple coats of polyurethane applied to the brick wall in the family room. It's taken a slight sheen (we used a satin finish poly, it was the flattest we could find), but that's ok. It's also darkened the color some, which we wanted. The important thing is that we no longer have to worry about the wall dusting, flaking and otherwise making a mess of the room!
