Holiday weekend…What Holiday Weekend???

My husband was bound and determined to get all the stone up on the big wall this past weekend and we got close….but no cigar.

Here’s where we started on the other side of the door:

And the progress made:

Here’s the whole wall as it stands as of the end of the holiday weekend:

We opened the second pallet of stone veneer and have already used quite a bit. We’re going to work on it at night this week and see how far we can get. We won’t be able to get it all the way finished because we have to install beams and we need to leave ourselves room to maneuver them into place. We also need to put spacers in for the beadboard sheets that we are going to use for the ceiling.

We probably will start grouting next weekend. That will be an adventure because we don’t know what we’re doing, but we’ve watched videos and we have the materials and tools we need, so we’re going to give it a try.

I’m so tired….
