we really rocked today!




The fireplace is well on its way now. Today we insulated the chimney cavity and covered the outer surface with cement board. Then we eagerly dove into the fun part. The fireplace is going to look beautiful soon.
I was really wishing the chimney had been complete as I sat there getting a little cold after the sun went down. Abi was helping daddy make a template on the floor. This is the ideal way to map out random rocks, but we ended up abandoning that and just 'flying by the seat of our pants.'



























I am really amazed at just how good it is starting to look. It's sort of like putting a puzzle together with no picture. We have so many rocks that we are able to just go a piece at a time and pick just the right rock for each space.













































Abi has tucked herself away in what will be the woodbox.












So, what do you think?





50 down, and I suppose about 200 to go?
