Fake Rock ~ Round 2

On Tuesday I removed the particle board base for the fake rock... or is it faux rock?.... I removed the fake rock from the particle board. In fact, I trashed the particle board because I got mad at it.

So I had to cut a new base for the fake rock. Any guesses on what the new base is made of... yep, you guessed it, particle board. Lets just say we're starting off with a clean slate... so to speak.
I drilled holes for the hinge attachment using the old board as a template.  I covered the board with wire lathe which is a metal mesh held onto the base (particle board) with a gazillion screws.  The lathe will hold the mortar.  On top of the lathe I secured the fake rock. 
That's all I did Tuesday. 
More work to do on Wednesday with mortar and rock and screws then I will update this fascinating blog so y'all can just follow along with me.
I just can't believe how exciting this is... can you feel it?
