Masonry Heater under construction. Chester, Vermont

A masonry heater (or stove) that was started last year in the fall at the Gustafsons' home under construction in Chester, VT, is now being faced with a local stone of the mica schist variety. Here are just a few photos of the stonework in progress, now ready for some big slabs for the bench top that wraps around three sides of this Heat-Kit from Masonry Stove Builders, assembled by myself last November.
