Progress

Several days before Thanksgiving we drove out to west Texas to spend the holiday with my FIL.  On our way out of town we stopped by the house.

The stone work on the front of the house was complete.

They got started on the wall in the great room.

And finally, it looked like they were getting ready to do the fireplace.  C selected this Colorado river rock.  These all look grey, but when they're cleaned up the stones are different colors.

Laying the stone, tile and wood floors should begin the week after Thanksgiving!
