That's a nice piece of craftsmanship there my friend. That's the first time I've seen a fire place get built before the house though

I can almost taste those ribs cookin on the grill in 40 degree weather and hear the sound of the good life music playing in the background.

How much does something like that cost to have someone build?

The stone is a mix of about four diff jobs that I brought home its been sitting behind grage. Work is slow so I put it up in my yard something to do. Im guessing I would charge around 6 to 8 thousand. Did a much bigger one last october Charged 14500.00
