Several people have requested updates on our house. Here is our latest project. An outdoor fireplace
Danny has been working on it all summer. We used a "kit" from Eldorado Stone. After assembling the blocks he covered the face with the same stone & grout that is on the front of our house. It's a good thing we did this project now because we discovered that the stone has been discontinued! As you can see in the picture he just has a small portion on the front left to grout. The back also needs to be finished.
It is situated on the corner of our lot, overlooking the hillside. This is his work station. He lays a few stones and then jumps in the pool to cool off.
We plan to lay a brick patio where there is now dirt and add some outdoor furniture.
It will be a cozy spot to gather.
Here is the view looking back at our house from this spot.
The wisteria on the house is growing in well. And the pool is done. Happy day! The grandkids have been enjoying it.
