Eldridge

  Finished this job up a few weeks ago, but haven't gotten around to posting pics. This is down in Boothbay, on an amazing little piece of property that protrudes out into Boothbay Harbor, leaving the house surrounded on three sides by water. Seals climb on the rocks in the backyard. Scallop boats drag the deep water, sometimes all day long. Lobster boats idle in circles around the traps...
  The style of stonework was a little different for us. The owners wanted to replicate the look of some of the crumbling stone walls on the property, so we had to kind of toss everything we know out the window and try to create something really rough and erratic, yet still retain some kind of aesthetic standards.
  Also, this was another Knickerbocker job, done through Dan Ucci of Ledge Hill Creations, who is right now working on the fireplace inside...
