I Didn't Start the Fire(place)


Our expert masons have returned and have spent this morning getting a good start on the fireplace, which is located between the kitchen proper and the eating nook bay. The extra block and a load of sand were already on hand, along with the order of brick that came at the end of last week, and they jumped right on it.

I'm pretty pleased with the choice of brick for this. I think it's going to be a good look, with enough color to be interesting but not so much that it screams for attention. It should be functional, more so than fabulous. But definitely fine.

They are booking right along. The James (Masonry) Gang got the fireplace finished up to the installation of the flue, just in time for the City Inspector to come by, and it turned out he was someone who appreciates good work and had no trouble passing them at this point. A few more shots of the fireplace construction in progress:
