Just finished this border and my firepit. Took a lot of patience but I think it turned out great. At least somebody can secure the borders. Mason did the Bluestone patio. What a PIA. Could have never done it. Cost a fortune but looks amazing. Also just restored this ski chair from Hunter Mountain to finish the job. I love it.

Mason's are crazy hard workers and a fine bunch of people , and my recommendation do not try to drink beers with them and keep up , you will most definitely be sorry !

Posting the pics in piecemeal as the walls get finished, lol. This is the 1st garage wall that I grouted last week with Asftax's tips and help. Definitely takes patience which has not changed with this from the start....Looking to grout the 2nd wall tomorrow or Monday. Then onto the chimney last....My respect for mason's has only increased with each stone applied.

Morris brick has a 27" steel insert. Place the lip in, build around it with stone then cover it with the bluestone.

Unbelievable I am Jealous big time. Love the Setting your house is in. Now it will be hard to leave your yard to go on any Vacation The resort is your Yard    

Love the Lift Chair do you plan on Camouflaging it to blend in?  

As far as Hard working Masons in my area you have to have an Interpreter and Ice Cold Corona and Subs for lunch. I even supplied the Mariachi Music

I wonder if you can have this pit without the metal insert, Can stones take the heat?

[Jerseybassnbow]

It might be done but you need some fire proof cement
