Fireplace is done!

[Mark42]

Here is the new stonework on our fireplace. Its real split field stone and some other red stone we had mixed in. Thats about 1 1/2 tons of stone on the wall, and another half ton or so of morter.

This mason did a fabulous job.

There are a few more pics in the non-boat technical forum.

Thanks guys!

It took the mason and his two helpers 4 days to do the whole job. Plus he covered the new floor with 1/2" flakeboard to protect it. He cut nearly every stone in the wall, it was a lot of work. Glad I didn't try it myself!

My wife is soooo happy with the colors of the rocks she picked out. I think it just looks cool. And I really like that the hearth will be flush to the finished floor. I think two small recessed lights in the ceiling shining down on the stone will look nice.

Bigprarie1, I did not do this. I paid a professional stone mason to do it. Boy, I wish I had that talent!!!
