Some really great progress this week, as you can see from these recent posts. The fireplace, which is being created by our mason Bob Dudas, is completed indoors. It's about 10 feet at the cap, and about 9 feet wide - I was by myself up at the site taking pix, and definitely needed someone standing next to it to give it scale. Let's just say, I would fit nicely underneath the mantel. The stone is a fieldstone from a quarry in the Adirondacks, and we are very happy with how this looks! Brad, our builder, will be placing a half timber mantel across the three logs soon.
