Rumford Fireplace in Montpelier: Stone work complete

Greetings! and finally, here are a few digital photos of the fireplace at the Nishiyachi residence under construction in Central Vermont. The firebox is oriented at 45degrees into the main living area, or great room. The stone is South Bay Quartzite from Champlain Stone Co. and Cleary Stone in Richmond. The home is being constructed by Montpelier Construction, Chris Miksic GC.

Chimney up to the ceiling.

Bench stones set today.
