Things are moving along pretty steadily, but not in big easy to see segments. The chimney is up to the roof and the middle column is up to about six feet- right up to where they will put my Lake Texoma-found fossilized ammonite shell into the wall. I found that fossil over ten years ago when there was a drought causing a low water level. I gave it to Mom and Dad, and they gave it back to me for the house. Sort of thematic- brother Mike gave them the petrified wood log, and they gave THAT to me for the fireplace.
Mike's guys are still working on staining and finishing the wood. They spent all day out there Saturday cleaning windows and doors of dust. This rock laying business is very messy. Every single thing out there is covered in a fine coating of silty, grayish dust. Inside and outside. All the beautiful rock is getting covered in it. Johnny cleaned a small amount of the rock wall on the outside with a diluted acid, to teat and make sure it wouldn't cause any discoloration. It looks remarkably good, especially next to the ashy white of everything else.
The beams are up and stained in the master bedroom, and the ceiling was getting its final coating of satin sealer when I was out today.
I will be SO glad when the rock is completed and everything has had a good cleaning.
Mike was out today with his guys working on getting as much metal up on the roof as possible before the next couple of days, when we might get rain or even ice. We had to wait for the exterior stone to be completed, and by that time there was moisture under the felt paper, so we had to let it dry out.
After much deliberation I placed an online order for the all of the bathroom vanity lights. Some purchase decisions have come very easily, and some have been ridiculously hard. But, this one is D-O-N-E, and I am on to the next of many more. Onward!
