In October 2010, we were tasked with replacing a stone staircase with pavers. The original stone steps were crumbling apart and had become difficult to traverse. We demolished the steps, cleaned up the concrete the stone was laid on, and laid pavers to complete the steps. We also replaced the caps on the columns with new rock, as they were also crumbling. The original steps are shown on the left and the new paver steps are shown on the right.
In the Fall and Winter of 07-08, we did extensive work on two houses in Black Butte Ranch. On Both houses we used Montana stone, the first house being laid drystack and the second house with a mud joint. Each house featured wainscoat, indoor fireplaces, and outdoor fireplaces. All the fireplaces were built from the ground up by us and were done so in accordance to building codes.

A job that we have completed in May 06 was a log house between Sisters and Tumalo. This house had a fireplace and smokestack that was approximately twenty feet tall. The fireplace and stack structure was built with block, and the firebox was made with brick. The outside of the fireplace and stack was layed with river rock. The smoke stack also had a cap made from a form that was filled with mortar.
We have done several houses in the Broken Top community, including the one show here. This house featured a front patio layed in stone with columns, a large fireplace inside with a woodbox, and an arched stove cover in the kitchen (not shown).
