    Default 1st wall going up in the addition


    Inside that is. Cement board down, laying up the stone. Very tedious work. I realize it would be so much easier floating the sheetrock and painting. But we want this addition the same as the main house, which is what it will be. So far, so good:

    Before you fellas say anything about the electrical receptacle being upside down - the reason is I will install brass receptacle plates like the main house. If for some reason the plate comes loose and falls while something is plugged in, it will contact the ground. Not the neutral and hot causing a short and tripping the breaker, or something worse. Us brilliant Aggies think things through. Ready to go back to work tomorrow to get some rest . Thanks for looking.

    Almost afraid to say anything, but....one of those beads of adhesive is just a little shy of straight, or..........whoa........glasses were on crooked. Never mind.

    Randy if your receptacles are upside down then so are all of mine for the reason you mentioned. Better safe than sorry. One question for ya, are those stones individual pieces or are they joined together in groups like a panel for easier installation. I've done many DIY projects but never stone. Whatever way it is, it's looking very good so far.

    Gene, they are all individual pieces. That's why it's so tedious. Thanks fellas.
