The Owens-Corning stone veneer is still waiting to be placed onto the chimney. We have aproximately 500 SF worth of Buck's County Country Ledgestone to be added to the interior and exterior of the chase. We decided to bid out this job and currently have 5 open bids that we are looking into. In the meantime, Ade has been busy placing 2 layers of Cement Board above the fireplace, 1/2 inch each (per code and fireplace directions). Above the cement board will be 2 layers of 1/2 inch OSB. On top of all of the wood product (inside and out) will be placed a vapor barrier and then sheets of metal lath. The mason will then use a thick scratch coat of mortar and fix the cultured stone pieces to this with a drystack look.
