Well they started putting up the river rock today on the fireplace. I came home from work to find the workers still here as they were just cleaning up for the day. They installed the log mantle, which looks incredible. The top of the mantle is about 5'8" off the ground and is exactly what we had in mind when we designed the fireplace.

As for the river rock, they got about two thirds of the rock done. So tomorrow, they will continue with the river rock installation, put in the stone hearth and some finishing touches and they will be done. Then on Wednesday, the painting for our living room and dining room will start.

It is going to look great!!
