Solid stone fireplaces
Here we are, out in the sun from 6.30 this morning, cutting stone in our yard and working on some lovely stone fireplaces. Some of us are sneezing a bit, due to the hay fever ’season’ We’ve started a little early today, so that we can finish a little early, as some of us want to watch the potential horror of the England/Slovenia match. No doubt the country will come to a halt this afternoon once the match starts, and if we lose…. I dread to think!
We’re delivering a big stone fireplace to Scotland today, the Glasgow area, and yesterday we delivered one to South Wales, Monmouthshire. The driver said what stunning countryside he drove through yesterday once he got off the motorway, and I remember riding through that area of Wales on my motorbike a couple of summers ago, and how beautiful it was. I’m not sure what the area is like where he’s going today, but hopefully it will be nice.
We’re just working on some stone arches for a big barn conversion. Each arch will have a door in it, but the rest will be just glass. The glass will just sit in a slot that we’re cutting into the stone, so you’ll have glass and stone, but no frame. It will look incredible, and we’ll put pictures on here when it’s done.
