The stone, that we have been waiting months for, for the fireplace finishing arrived a couple of weeks ago. We were starting to get worried that we hadn't seen any action. This was partly due to the fact that Charles head guy, Dave, had caught a serious virus and was laid up for over a week. Charles found some other guys to install the stone. It looks pretty good so far!The only concern - and there always is one, isn't there! - is that Charles (or David) had told me that they were going to put a thin piece of plywood on the floor to provide a gap (so the floor could easily move) and support the stone at the same time. When the mortar dried, they would remove the plywood. There is no plywood or other spacer here between the floor and the stone which makes me wonder if this might cause future problems with the floor buckling. I hope not! We've had several lifetimes of headaches and hassles over that already!
