Since the new door was in and trimmed, at least on the outside, it was time to resume stonework.
.
.
I’ll be honest and say the husband really wasn’t looking forward to this part.
.
.
Inside corners are tough to line up properly.
.
.
And we know precision finish work is not his forte.
.
.
But he knocked that small wall out quickly and it looks pretty good, from afar.
.
.
The section that’s really giving him a headache is between the door and the window.
The stone siding sections are 36 inches long…
.
.
So of course the distance between the door and the window is 38 1/4”.
.
.
Not wanting little 2 1/4 pieces and seams running the whole height I asked him to cut the sections different lengths so he could stagger the joins.
This suggestion was not well received.

River's world..... 
I hate when that happens (the spacing, not my wife’s suggestions).

It’s beyond annoying, and makes for so much extra work.

It’s coming along nicely I must say. But where is Mr./Ms. Cocoon at? I’m curious as to why it’s taking so long for this metamorphosis.

She, he, it… is still in cocoon phase and will be all winter now. Guess we’re going to have to find a safe space for that piece of stone.

My personal theory is that the better the suggestion from a woman is, the less well-received it is by a man.

Let’s people look but not get too close to see the rough edges.

Yes, that could work. “Look at our beautiful new door…. from the middle of the lawn.”

If there have to be small pieces, at least have them at the corner, rather than the door!

It’s not on the corner side, but the other side of the door.

Sure looks a lot better than the stuff from the 70’s, there is a house around the corner from us that still has it and I would love to start a Gofund me to be able to change it
