Have been working on a basement renovation (more like a basement finishing as it was block walls and a concrete floor) that is drawing to an end. One of the first things I did was install the new wood stove. Finally I got all of the stone up on the hearth. Basically just mortared it to the cinder block wall. Here's a pic of the stone work. Hardest part was putting the pieces of the puzzle together to get them to fit. I'll post some more pictures when the basement is done.
