Fireplace Progress Report

Glenn has begun the work of putting field stones onto the fireplace. I can imagine if a field stone had feelings it may be pleased to know it was going to end up on a fireplace right on the land from which it was taken.

On the House

no.....not free beer. We're trying to decide which type of shake to put on the house as siding. We for sure want synthetic (i.e. never have to paint it) shakes. But what color? what texture? what length? straight or uneven? etc. etc. Eenie meenie miniee moe.

Down and Up

The scaffolding that surrounded the house for long time is now down and the soffits that will forever surround the house are now up. Next decision, what material to use to underline those soffits? V-groove pine? painted sheet rock? Also down...our pine bough...in order to make way for those soffits. Next up?

Up on the Rooftop

The top of the chimney is done. Now the field stones will be cleaned, sorted and applied to the fireplace inside

. It should take Glen about a month and a half to get the two fireplaces complete. I'll post pictures of his progress.
