Chimney Rock and Sub Floor

 

November 22, 2014

We have been working on the chimney rock and sub floor. 

After the block chimney was constructed we selected the decorative rock for the outside.  This required several decisions to be made. First we need to select the rock. Then the color of the mortar and next the width of the gap between the rocks and the depth of mortar. We drove around several neighborhoods looking at rock and mortar.  We selected the rock pretty quickly. For mortar the mason made several samples for us. He applied some rock at the base of the chimney so we could make our final decsion. Then he started to apply the rock to the top of the chimney where he needed the tall scaffolding to reach.  We wanted to get this rock work completed so we could remove the scaffolding and start working on the roof.

Pictures of the Chimney are attached below.

At the same  time we were installing the sub floor. The plywood for the sub floor is 1 and 1/8 inches thick.  Marty and Doug placed all the plywood expect for two sheets. This hole will allow us to get under the floor to do all the work for plumbing, air ducts and electrical.
