My wife, Big A and I met at the “soon to be ours” house after work. We had to show the contractor how we would like the stone laid out on the fireplace.
After 10 minutes, I could see the contractor’s eyes starting to glaze over. With each tick of the clock, it was becoming increasingly apparent to me that this was not going to be a quick little decision. I encouraged him to go ahead and go home and that we would just lay the stones out on the floor in the pattern that we wanted.
Two hours later, we finished! What a job! Each stone looks like sand art!
We would get two that fit together perfectly…
Then we would see that the left side of the left stone matched the right side of that stone over there against the wall…
By the time we finished, my eyes were glazing over!
