Bricking & Sheetrock - Exciting Times!

Posted on 15:49 by Arlene Lage
We've made some exciting progress lately!  The bricking is almost complete and sheetrock is hung!  It's looking amazing!  We chose to go with a heavy mortar and joint line on the brick.  They use burlap cloths to give it that old world charm that we love!  They've also started incorporating some stone that I bought almost a year ago that came from a building in Philadelphia that was demoed.  It's looking great!  The plan is to paint some of the brick later, so they've switched to a different color of mortar on the parts we're going to leave exposed.

The sheetrock crew are quite the characters!  They are a group of brothers that argue constantly and jam out to some great music!  They are amazing at their craft and are doing a wonderful job so far!

Next up is carpentry... :)




Reclaimed stone from Philadelphia on the sides.  There will be more that goes above the door.  See pic below.

Love these amazing oaks!!  Can't wait until it's all landscaped!


Garage.  We chose to leave the power beams exposed to give it some character!
