Blue Stone

Buddy...the mason.  Who knew?

Cement board goes down first.

Mischief...in the way :)

1st piece, let's go.

Hardwood flooring is next. Country grade red birch, we think.

Hearth / Ready for Mantle!

OK, on to the bluestone!

Hearth / Ready for ACID

Well, the floor portion is ready...hope it looks as nice as the wall part when finished!

Hearth / Weekend Project

Hearth Wall by Mason :)  Floor portion = Brickwork by Bud. Here we go!

Saturday, we need to move the wood stove...OFF it goes.

Progress shots from Saturday.

Sunday Night

 Next comes cleaning it with some kind of ACID...Yikes!

No Side Projects....I Blame

Well, no paying side jobs!

Our new addition, just no time.  Hope to get back into it, once things settle down.  For now, I (Bud) am doing all the finish work on our new space.
