Some of it goes to hydrate the cement the rest gradually dries out and evaporates, if there is little ventilation in the room you will see the condensation on the windows and any cold surface.
PS I would have thought three buckets was rather a large amount.

I'm putting a ventless gas fireplace in my house it comes with gas logs and a firebox with a fan. I need to build a fireplace/hearth around it preferably out of faux stone, but i dont know where to begin. i would like to find some plans or instructions online. please help!
Hang on a minute.
As a HVAC professional, I must ask you to please reconsider a vent less fireplace.
Every day in America 1 to 10 people are killed by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
A gas appliance is one of the biggest producers of carbon monoxide, thus this is the biggest offender.
When you burn a fossil fuel, you have a by product, and need to vent it outside.
Check with your local building department in your town, or county.
And be safe first.

Call a professional - You will regret any loss of life or property if you don't do it right. By hiring a pro to build it you are actually building it yourself anyway because he/she is your sub. I think there are plenty of designs out there that will make you happy. Pick one and find the most experienced and reputable contractor you can to install it. Good Luck.

13' x 17' patio with a gas fireplace and a ceiling fan
You know… even with those specs, it's hard to give even a ballpark to you for several reasons:
Material cost would fluctuate significantly because I don't know if you want 2' tall pillars or 6' tall pillars… and I don't know if you want a low fire-pit kinda fireplace or a brick fireplace that has to rise 12' to clear the roofline of your house (to prevent smoke from going in to any windows). I also don't know what the land condition is on your property, so I don't know if extensive reinforcement foundation would need to be laid in order to support all this additional weight and keep it from sinking significantly.
Labor is also hard to estimate because cost can fluctuate because of the conditions stated above, because of the complexity or simplicity of the design you had in mind and/or because of the varying charges for contractor labor in your particular area. Also, charges for labor are relative to the standing the contractor has in your area. In a job like this, I would NOT look for the cheapest price. Look for the top 3 to 5 reputible contractors in your area and choose from them.
I also don't know if you already have your design drawn up or if you still need to pay someone to create technical drawings for you, which brings additional costs to the table.
Maybe somebody else on Yahoo can make a stab at it with confidence…
My opinion: you want a beautiful patio that you are going to enjoy and that is going to increase the value of your property. Hire a professional for a quote. Call around to different contractors (get references from friends/neighbors), ask them a lot of questions and, when you decide on someone you can trust, ask them to come out and give you a quote. SOME contractors, if they charge for conducting a quote, will sometimes subtract this charge from the final job price if you end up hiring them.
