The New Stack Stone Fireplace!

Being in a small town, it was difficult to find someone that had time and/or wanted to take on the huge task of taking down the rest of the fireplace, haul away all the bricks and build a new one.  Freezing temperatures and 3 major holidays complicated our efforts; it took another 2 months to complete the job.

We chose a very basic 36" wood burning fireplace. 
It's a cabin, nothing fancy allowed!

Solid cedar mantle being installed.  It didn't turn out as beefy as I wanted, but that will be an easy fix in the future.

 

 



Organized chaos!

 

 

Our first fire was on January 18, 2014.

 

We originally chose a stack stone that could be purchased off the shelf at Lowes.  When it was time to purchase, they had discontinued it.  Due to time constraints, we choose a stone based on the description and small photo on the internet.  Once delivered, the stones had more grey tones than expected.  I really wanted tan/brown tones, but in the end I think it turned out great!
