This is where the new stove will sit!I don't know if you can tell that there is a little 'lip' on the edge. Colin finished it all today. I can't believe how fast he did it all!
Now for those with a discerning eye... you may be thinking, 'Wait a minute! The front of the hearth already was 3 bricks high yesterday!" And if you were thinking that, you just go right ahead because you're correct.Ron was home...was in there with Colin as he was laying bricks, and MY GUY had a discerning eye and noticed a broken brick right smack in the front. He pointed it out...Colin asked him what he would like him to do, and Ron told him to pull the bricks out and re-do it... which he did.
Here, Colin is building a little ledge.
Besides the hearth being completed today, Kyle was over with another Kyle and they painted the outside of the addition. It already had primer on, but this is the real stuff!
This is the 'other Kyle'.... not Pete's Kyle, just Kyle! Kyle must have been 'our Kyle's' assistant. Of course, Kyle is Pete's assistant... forget it. 
It makes me nervous when guys are up on ladders. This isn't that high, but still, I want to yell at Kyle to 'turn around and hold on!' He probably would have laughed at me.

Did you know:
-Some of the greatest decisions in history were made while sitting on the hearth.
-Almost as many as were made while sitting on the well know euphemism.
-For example:
·While sitting on the hearth, Betsy Ross sewed out first American Flag.
Disappointed she was that George talked her out of her first choice of colors: Purple, green and gold.
·While sitting on the hearth, our forefathers made an historic decision of which one would become our national bird. The Dodo was too scarce, the eagle
was too scrawny, and the turkey was too dumb. The Eagle won out because it was the only one that fit on presidential seal.
·We all know the story of how Abe fell from his mule into the river while
coming to the aid of three spinsters from Gettysburg. They were in serious distress.
(you don’t remember that?)
Anyway, while sitting on the hearth drying his britches he wrote the well
known Gettysburg Distress. Later, Mary Todd had him change it to the
Gettysburg Address.
·So, you see, all kinds of things happen on hearths of an historic nature.
Someday I will have to tell you about the first time Ron kissed Judy.
(Truly historic) There has been great improvement since then.
Love ya!
Judy and Ron,
looking great! Good job on catching the one broken brick.
