ROCKIN'

We had some helpers today... Tommy and I got up pretty early this morning because we were excited about the stone veneer... We continued from what we laid last night and got about 2/3 of the way to the end of the garage before Tom's Dad and Uncle came with Tommy's new table saw. They drove to PA to pick it up this morning. It is a nice big JET table saw... yay! Tom's dad set Wojcio up with some mortar to put a smooth coat of mortar on the basement side of the house. We though we were going to have stone over there so we had the masons do a scratch coat, but we decided against stone there so we had to have a smooth layer of mortar put on. He did a great job! Tom's dad put the 1x6 along the bottom of the house which made a big difference... Mark came by to help out also... he did the two top windows for us and they came out great (eventually haha!). Tommy and I worked all day on the stone veneer in and out of making sure everyone else had what they needed and got almost to the front steps... We probably need one more batch or mortar to finish it up. Before everyone went home they carried in and laid down the limestone for the fireplace hearth...
