Fireplace Work

When we first bought our house almost 20 years ago, we always envisioned it being a five-year house and we certainly didn't realize all of the things we should have considered when buying it.  Looking back, things like a master bathroom that had two sinks or some larger closet space might have been worth considering.  However, a fireplace was really the one thing that Tara had always wanted, and we couldn't believe we ended up without one.  That was all about to change as we kicked off our latest house project to add a gas fireplace to our living room.  The initial measurements were taken, and they started framing out the new addition.

This is what the final framing looked like that would be the foundation for the stonework.  Additionally, we were having gas lines extended from the furnace to this area, as well as to the kitchen for a gas stove.  The project was supposed to take a few weeks from start to finish and we were super excited to see it start to take shape.
