Our plan is to construct the neighbor's outdoor fireplace in three phases. This weekend we completed phase one, from the ground to above the deck. Phases two and three will rise from the deck to the counter-tops, and from the counter-tops to the top of the chimney, respectively. Each phase will be spread out over a week or two, leaving some time to apply veneer. The fireplace
must be complete by the planned August wedding reception.
The structure pictured above will support a fireplace with hearth and chimney in the center facing the deck, flanked on either side by wide counters. Beneath the counter-tops will be dry storage for firewood. The next phase will begin with the pouring of the hearth which will extend from the back of the structure forward to overhang the deck several inches. If our calculations are correct, the entire unit will weigh more than a ton!
