The hearth begins....cement is laid along with radiant tubing to keep the toes warm.
Here is Charlie Bean the mason. He will be using stones that we have been collecting for years and stone from the recent blasting to create the hearth/mantle.
Hard at work during some very cold weather. No doors yet. He used a skill saw with a stone cutting blade to scribe fit the rocks together.
We salvaged the mantle from the old house. It was a perfect fit for the mantle in the new house.
The finished product. There is a bit of orange and that is from the rust of the blasted rocks. They will get cleaned off with scrubbing and muriatic acid to help tone the color down.
