Work is progressing on building our outdoor living space. The forms have been fabricated to brace the rock when building the arches across the back porch. The bottom part of the columns have rock placed up close to the level where the arches will begin their curve.

The wooden arches are sitting in the garage ready for the masons to do their artistry. In addition to the three arches across the back, the sides of the porch will also have archways.

The big news is the installation of the interior fireplace mechanical parts and refractory. The masons will now be able to place the rock up to the ceiling. This fireplace will have a log set and burn propane gas - it is not a wood burning fireplace. We aren't sure we like the chimney cap in the third photo, so it may be changed out soon.

Bruce is out on the site today, so I hope to share some more progress photos this evening.
