For thirty years we’ve known our fireplace in Evergreen needed work. The chain curtains got stuck easily. There was no glass door on to keep the cats out when there was no fire. There was a chasm between the firebox and the stone hearth that kept collecting whatever the cats dropped or chased into it. So after thirty years the work was completed in under three hours. Of course, given our experience with every other project in this place we did discover that the decorative river stone had obviously been applied with no particular reference to the open facing of the firebox so the installers had to dig out two stones to get the door in and then remortar them in place. Nonetheless, it is done and last night (after the mortar had dried) we had our first fire. It was some compensation for have the sixth bout of Spring Winter on May 22.
Fireplaces are wonderful. And perhaps no more roasted mouse ?
looks super cozy
Are the bucket stackers the ones who wash and stack them wet? I hope that all of the spraying and washing was at the end of the day so you nice and clean when you got home. Just drippy wet!!!!
I’m not sure who stacks the buckets, but they mostly had been washed so probably it was the cleanup crew who put them together. These things suddenly appear towards the end of a shift so it is high speed powerwashing. In that chaos it’s not surprising that the buckets get mismatched!
