| This was a job in the Bay Meadows area, in Jax, Fla, for the owner of Young American Homes. Track houses where his specialty, not his home. This is a 2 sided , see thru fireplsce that goes almost 30' high. Chiseled edge stone, that comes consisting of 8"x8",8"x16",16"x16",16"x24". Home owner didn't want to follow the map. Made my own pattern. Then he decided to put 16"x16"(4 of them) on a diagonal, for a center spot. Please pay attention to the straight edge and line, going up to the sky. All outside edges were hand chisled, to match the product. Jeff(Stick) was instrumental on this job!!! He takes everyones talent, that he has learned from, and creates his own. Can't understand why the man just wants to be the help??? Was very lucky, for him to be there with me on this one!!! As you can see in the pics, last stack had no side support. We both let the builder know, we don't go any farther. Sheetrock crew brought us 4 more legs. Still not good enough for me. Needed planks from side to side. Builder brought warped junk from jobsite. Let him know, new boards, or no go. As you can see in the pics, Jeff and I felt safer. All boards were screwed in, from side to side, and the whole system was like that around the whole fireplace. No movement at all. |
