I think he's going to have a job when they get all the stone work done. But only after he gets a much earned respite. ;*) Mrs. T

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

A fireplace was my first guess, but I know how much you look forward to your outdoor kitchen. So, yes a fireplace is a statement piece, but a fireplace with a beehive oven is a functional fireplace. I’d add a swing hook to use for cooking over the fire. We get excited about our firepit grate for cooking outside. There’s SO much you can do with this!

[@tonyowen6703]

Even though I thought pizza oven, I think the swing hook is a great idea. I'd always have soup cooking. Mrs. T

[@burronorteno]

This is next level construction and very impressive. none of this Home Depot stuff. You and those Italian dudes are badass

[@markadler8968]

Next level shabby you mean. This entire project will collapse or some giant stone will fall from the cliff above and crush this house. No 1st world country would ever allow such poor constructing in such a dangerous location.

[@burronorteno]

@ To the contrary Mark. They are using construction practices from the early 17th Century. Aside from a rock come crashing down those structures are still around today

You may carevto Consider making the fireplace dual purpose. Setting it up so you can also BBQ and or use it as a bread or pizza oven.

[@charlestromblee962]

Totally agree. I have seen several outdoor fireplaces, and they very, very RARELY get used. They look good , though.

[@tonyowen6703]

I was thinking the same thing. Did you see the comment above about the swing hook? I'd say soup & fresh baked bread and the whole town will be coming for dinner. They'll see the smoke from the chimney and know they'll be smelling what's on the menu soon... ;o) Mrs. T

Put a fireplace crane in it, and you can get a large pot to cook in it too. There are also ways to adapt it for a grill. Roasted peppers and onions are awesome!

Brady, you are so very welcome and we thank you for sharing your lives and your journey with this project. Watching you and Allessio unload the truck, with what I assume are bags of cement, I could only imagine how exhausting it must be after working with all those heavy stones. You both are truly amazing "work horses" with such dedication. I'm enjoying watching your vision unfold. Blessings to you, Brady, to Heather, to the girls and also to Allessio and Carols for this coming new year. A weekend trip to Morocco...Cool!!!

[@mnaccarato4507]

I love watching your ideas every week. I can’t wait for the final reveal of your home and fireplace!

[@gailday7566]

Love the fireplace. Since this area will also be an outdoor kitchen can you either build a fire on one side and use a door in the fireplace to make it an oven for pizza or roasting. Or you can build a large flat rock protruding from one side where you can set pizza and pans.

Just when I think you couldn't possibly amaze me more, you go ahead and do it. If you ever finish the property (I suspect Bradey will never stop building with stone now), it will be an amazing estate.

[@AdamofCA.]

yes. these stone structures may have the villagers looking up to see how Bradey's estate fits in so well with the architectural scene of the scenic valley. Hope that Bradey goes online to ponder how Frank Lloyd Wright used straight lines to make a visual impact. I improved my CA. bungalow by selecting aluminum Venetian (Wright's Lines) blinds to shade my windows from the sun's glare which fit in perfectly with the long horizontal face board of the roof.
