One hour today at Yackandandah to finish this fireplace off for a very happy new owner. Just a small entrance wall to complete before Christmas.
For anyone interested in the process, it begins hand picking the granite at the quarry (in this case 10 Ton) put aside for delivery to jobsite.
After delivery its handling again to sort out and dress each piece for fitment. I like hand cutting stone onsite to achieve squared blocks of varying dimensions giving the walls a random block design.
Lots of carrying up onto a deck, in this instant as its inside an almost completed house with freshly painted features.
Each corner stone is trail fitted, re cut outside on the deck as cutting granite produces hard sharp shards that can do a lot of damage.
The vertical arris of walls are achieved by eye.
Hearth in this case is not needed due to the polished concrete floor and firebox.
