Last Major Cabin Project - I don't think we will ever say that the cabin is "done" but this week we are doing the last major project to finish the cabin. We built and have used the inside fireplace for two years now but have not applied the stone facade to the fireplace and nearby wall.
Originally I was going to build a stone facade myself using limestone uncovered from our building projects here on the farm. I think that would have been very cool but ran out of ambition. So we bought limestone from a quarry in Kansas and this past spring did the outside fireplace and counters. Our builder/carpenter Mike (he built the entire cabin) decided that he could become a stone mason and he did a great job. Since we liked how the outside turned out we decided to do the inside the same way. So this week Mike is adding the limestone facade to the inside.
For the last two years it has looked like this.
And today it looks like this.
