He's Done It Again!

My early christmas present... 

Once again my husband has worked very hard to make our living room an actually place to live. We can officially say our living room is finished! However, our first order of business was to put in the wood stove.

Building platform


Preparing for the pipe and stone



Applying the mortar


Applying the stone veneer





Trying to applying the mortar between the cracks. Trying is the key word here. It's very difficult to squeeze out thick, heavy mortar though a grout bag


Smiling as he smoothes out the mortar between the cracks

Finished wall

enjoying my gift, happy feet. :)
