Larry is there anything extra under the house floor there at the hearth.. Looks like a lot of weight. Really nice work.

ray hofstetter · Jan 18, 2013

Beautiful Larry! How long did it take?

GeneMO · Jan 18, 2013

That sure isn't any of that fake rock! That is the real deal.

Nice work.

Larry an excellent job! There is a hidden fireplace behind a closet in the parlor room at the farmhouse. Not much left of it so I haven't decided how to approach that mess.

Holy smokes. You've been a whole lot busier than I have,that's for darned sure.

Beautiful work Larry.

J.Wondergem · Jan 18, 2013

That sure looks good, Larry. I always thought a stone masons trade should never be lost.

Clodbuster · Jan 18, 2013

Great job!

NMfarmer · Jan 18, 2013

Looks like an awful lot of hard work, but the end result is great.

Justin SE IOWA · Jan 18, 2013

What would be an estimate of cost for a job like that?

JayinNY · Jan 18, 2013

You have some talent Larry? That is beautiful.

JerryS · Jan 18, 2013

Very nice work, Larry. Would you explain to me how you get all that mortar stain out of that wood floor? The guys who built my fireplace slopped it all over my red oak floor, and I had to sand for hours to get the stain out.

mighty fine work. Stan

larry@stinescorners · Jan 18, 2013

ShadetreeRet · Jan 18, 2013

Larry, that is fantastic! Relatively few people realize the time and talent involved in something like that. Thanks for the photos.

fixerupper · Jan 18, 2013

Darn, you do good work. Jim

samn40 · Jan 18, 2013

That is real tidy work, Larry. congratulations. I built my house from stone which I quarried myself and I have also built a few fireplaces. It is real rewarding work but a bit sore on the fingers sometimes!!!!

That's just great Larry.
Thanks for the photos. I really like to see stuff like this.
I'll bet your customers are happy.

Fordfarmer · Jan 18, 2013

That's nice work. But I can't let my wife see this post, or she'll be spending more of my money that I don't have yet.
Too bad you aren't closer... I have a couple rock piles I could sell you.

Dave I Love My H · Jan 19, 2013

Larry, I always enjoy your posts! And for what it's worth, I know you view yourself as a working man, but you, our friend, are an artiste! It's an attitude of how we navigate through our lives, not just how we earn our money. Dave

kruser · Jan 19, 2013

Beautyful workmanship. The fireplace looks like a Rumford design. Yes or no.
