Brownstone - sidewall stone progress


otterine

Continuing work on the timber grid. Slogging along is more like. Oy, this is mind-numbingly dull work. :glare:

The side wall opposite the addition is the largest solid wall in the build. I used the same technique as the side wall of the addition, with 5/16" x 1/8" grid boards and 1/16" thick filler pieces.

I thought about adding a window in the kitchen but decided against it mainly because of how the other windows in the build are constructed. It was simpler to leave it out, and having a solid wall would give me greater flexibility in decorating. We'll just imagine there's a window on the invisible back wall.

I numbered the backer board and the filler pieces to make it easy to reassemble after painting. I filled in the gaps in the grid with spackling and started bricking the bottom portion. After this, there will be a partial wall on the other side...then no more grid work for this build! Is that a light at the end of the tunnel? :D

Haven't seen any progress pictures of your Brownstone in a while, is it finished? Or do you work on several DH's at the same time?

No, I sold my condo over the summer and just moved into a new townhouse. The mini room is next to be set up. I should be back in the swing by the New Year. :D
