My First Fireplace
Finally had the opportunity to do a fireplace. Surprisingly all went smooth.
 Used the firerock fireplace kit. Any comments or critiques welcome. |

Re: My First Fireplace
Looks good Mike, get some photos after all the plantings are done, right now it looks a bit out of place. It needs to soften up a bit with plantings G

Re: My First Fireplace
Thanks for the compliments. Plants are planned for behind the wall but the homeowner is doing that sometime in the future. Firerock was very easy to install. Can be done in a few hours with a few guys.

Re: My First Fireplace
I like it and you don't have to worry about burning the house down.
