Fireplace

A cold snap has settled in in Southeastern Ohio, and has presented some challenges in building a Masonary Fireplace here on the Nelsonville new build. We basically had to erect a tent to enclose the entire chimney and scaffold, then heat it with kerosene space heaters.

There will be two fireplaces built side by side, one in the kitchen and the other one outside in the screened porch. They are being constructed with concrete block and will be covered with cultured stone. It's hard to see what we're doing outside because of the tent, but the inside fireplace can be seen here before the stone was applied.
