Mood: Let's have a BBQ!

Friends have asked me why I have spent so much time on our construction site and maintained such a "hands on" management style with even minor details.

This is why. :(

I would try to get at least 4 cm of mortar on the fix...

Bajagringo: I know what you mean! But we were living in our trailer while our house was being built, call it a case of you can't be everywhere all at once! We DID stop construction when the metal roof was going up, downloaded instructions in Spanish MADE them read it, and then go to Structuras y Perfiles to get the right small bits to put it together right!
Just a bit scary at times what they are willing to do so as not to dissapoint by saying "I don't know"!!!

Soulpatch: Yup pretty scary allright! worrysome about the lowering of ignition temps! We did chip out 1/2 of the vigas and the high temp morter is about 3 cm thick. Once we get our in-flor hydronic going it will be just for esthetic purposes but an good fireplace insert would not only be safer but a much more efficient use of the wood! Just need another 30K to finsih all the projects on the go ;>;)
