Let the Stacking Begin!

The masons began prepping for laying the stone on the front columns and chimney. Scaffolding in the front, scaffolding the back - they are starting with the chimney, so we'll see how it looks once they get started. They cover the area with black material, lay over some chicken wire and then add some type of mortar stuff. More insulation being blown on the inside too.
