Ok before you ask, this IS the same fireplace. Unfortunately it was reduced in size due to a neighbor complaint even though it was approved by the HOA ahead of time…luckily we hadn't stone veneered it yet! With the stone veneer it recommended to start from the bottom up and use a mortar with a polymer additive that helps heavy stones stick on a vertical surface. That extra bonding ability matters, especially when gravity is working against you. 👀💪 👉 Have you had any HOA interferences? #Outdoo
