Nice work! Get a nice dolly and move it in place vertically into the room then gently lower it on top! I moved mine with 3 guys and one get out of the way lol. Is it 2"? Looks a little bigger then mine.

The bricks look great. What did you use to color the mortar?
Looks like a piece of soapstone
have redone things i paid for thats why i choose to do most my self now!
Worked for about 6 hours today...mortar is a lot harder than I imagined...getting just the right consistency and making sure there are no voids between bricks takes forever. Fortunately my mother came over to hand me bricks today. I really thought I'd finish today, but not even close

+1I would set the stone on a bed of mortar or thinset. It will help support the stone evenly and avoid stress cracking.
