January 1st, 2005
The first thing we constructed after all the cleanup was our hearth in the living room.
I lathed the adobe wall with chicken wire, using masonry nails so the concrete wouldn't separate from the adobe. With collected river rock I stacked up the sides. The base was filled in with pea gravel and a watery mix of concrete with flagstone on top. Got a good deal on a Lopi liberty wood stove and then had warmth for working in winter. The photo of the whole family was December 2008.
