Brick Begins

We have begun brick veneering...

Day One

The masons began the veneer of the concrete block across the rear of the house and began to build the chimney and wood boxes.

This is a closer view of the back of the house.

These are wood boxes for the fireplace. They are a solid arch from outside to inside. The goal is to not have to carry wood through the house, but to load the boxes from the outside of the house. Gary spent the day making the forms for the arches.





















This is an inside view after day one. The walls and part of the bricking for the face of the fireplace is finished.





















The masons built the outside first and formed the first arches. Then they came inside and began the walls. Next time, they will finish the arches all the way to the interior and go up the chimney frame.
