All the rock work is finally done!

It took almost 4 weeks to complete all the rock, inside and out. Yes, it was a LOT of rock! We had them do a technique called "dry stacking," where they chip and cut away at the stones until it is just the right size and shape, and then it is placed with lots of cement behind it, and not much that you can actually see between the rocks. So, they call it dry stack, since you can't see how it is all held together. The cabinets are still a total disaster! Brandon is working very hard to make it all right and turn out just how we envisioned.
Day 106 -
The mess that chipping rocks leaves behind, not to mention all the dings in the paint and sheetrock! Imagine, this is how it looks around the whole outside of the house!

Day 107 -
These are pieces of wood used to hold the arches up while it cures and dries.
Day 108 -
This is the dining room now, they took the supports out today and put more morter on the underside. (It still looks wet in these pictures.)
This is the entry to the wine room with our custom door all wrapped up to protect it. When it gets unveiled, I will share it with you!
