The moment we have all been waiting for….. Almost. First there is a bit of work to do to remove the forms.
Things are looking promising.
Two Happy Concrete Campers. Even with a bit of a messy cleanup. The end result is amazing. 
The slight overhang of the hearth seems to “lighten” the massive form of nearly 3000 lbs of concrete. We will paint the underside edge black and perhaps install LED lights to further enhance the illusion that the hearth is floating above the floor.
f#%*!n amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I very much enjoy following your posts – your ‘homework’ is so good – indeed, a house of dreams becoming a dream home!
Hey guys,

I like … thanks for writing the blog, keep us informed, if I once will pass trough Oregon and I remember the story I will have a look….cheers BK
Danke for the comments BK. I’m sorry about the missing pictures from some earlier posts. They got lost when we had to change web services. Someday I hope to replace then as it appears more and more visitors are going through the whole archive.
Prost!
