Re: Starting The Mantle Install

Looking really good there!
You've got at least a pickup load
of cribbing in in there eh?
Are those the soap stone brick
you were talking about a while
back, in the firebox?

Re: Starting The Mantle Install

Yes, soapstone.
The cribbing? I only have 24 pieces there. They make laying up support a breeze.

Re: Starting The Mantle Install

The latest, tomorrow I'm going to start rigging and cribbing the actual mantle.
1400 lbs needs to go 5' up.

It's PRETTY and you know me, so why did the architect(s) call out for a peiced hearth??? Less is more IMHO!

Re: Starting The Mantle Install

The liner just looks soooo sexy!
Can't see that black stone without it.


I've still got black mortar stains
on tools from the 70's.

Gutters?
Yes, of course they're nice. Everything on this job is nice.
You want pics of those? I'll take some.

You will give us a pic when it's all

Re: Starting The Mantle Install

That lighter piece is a door sill for the sun room. Not sure what door they are putting in yet...so I just keep moving it around the job.

I've had pieces of woodwork like that.
Eventually they just turn to sawdust!
