The mason was at work yesterday, building our chimney and fireplace. Here is a photo of the fireplace.
The clay tube on the left is the flue for the oil burner. It is a separate flue that goes up the same chimney as the flue for the fireplace. Here is a closeup of the fireplace.
That is some complicated brick work. It looks very nicely done on the outside too.
The chimney is about 1/4 done now, from the looks of it.
While the mason was working on the chimney, they put the roof on the sun room.
They also have put in a window with some siding around it so we can see what it will look like.
The siding color is called “Oxford Blue”, although it looks gray in this light. The black sheet to the right of the siding is some roofing shingles nailed there so we can see what they will look like against the siding.
