Did a little job for a very good customer. Built this chimney and associated stonework back in 08. Had to drill a hole and mount a pin to hold a Christmas wreath.

not my style I like the soapstone/granite surround though. work looks nice and looks like a really nice house the color looks kinda washed out because of the décor

 

[2low4nh]

what kind of stone is that?

 

[bytor]

Soapstone frirebrick Karl?

 

[CJKarl]

Need to photograph it with a real camera and not my phone. Yes soapstone brick.

 

[CJKarl]

I think the stone is a quartzite from NY state.

The craziest part was the $30,000 granite surround was delayed months and I had to build the whole thing without it. Then slide everything into place when it came in. There was just a wee bit of measuring twice on that one.

Looks like it fit. You must have had good shop drawings.

Nice job. :thumbup:

we ran in to the same thing waiting on some very ornate limestone pieces. 3 fireplaces were built and waiting and we still had time to wrap the porches in bluestone and build a couple stone walls before they came in. nothing better then setting large pieces with a brand new hardwood floor behind you.

Really like those firebrick. What is the hearth made of?

 

[CJKarl]

Hearth and surround are black granite. Not sure of country of origin.

 

[2low4nh]

we used some black granite this year from Canada. it was not that dark but maybe from up north.

I don't know about cell phone picture, looks beautiful to me - like it should be in a magazine I too love the look of the soapstone. Hope I get to build one sometime.

Great job
