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.

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

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.
