The Old Brick

The floor is down, with the fireplace to go. Rodney worked finishing up while I took off with family to go to Aaron's wedding (South Carolina - Island Palms) Great Trip - more info later.
We are heading out tonight to find the outside layer for the Bricks. The first picture shows the old dirt box that housed the brick for over 100 years.

The second picture, the brick watered down so we could see the texture and have a patteren to go by when we put them back down. We are on a hunt now to find the mantel, something simple that will not eat up the room. Estes, still waiting on your help!!
