Jeff and Maggie's Bitteroot Glacier Stone Thin Veneer Fireplace and Columns

I have been working on a fireplace and columns that has Bitterroot Glacier Stone brand natural thin veneer  and Mahogany stone caps.
Completed thin veneer.





Day 1: WRB paper, expanded metal lath and tinted  type N masonry mortar installation.
Day 2: Stone installation begins.
Day 3
Day 4





Hearthstone and column cap fabrication

Palletized stone.
Cutting with a gas powered cutoff saw is very wet and messy. There is nothing like having to wear a full rainsuit when it is 78 degrees in order to stay dry. At least it wasn't 98 degrees.
8 hours later....finished caps in the back of the truck ready to be taken to the jobsite and installed.
