[/QUOTE]

Toke me a few to look at this, BUT the one beam on the right is ON the post, the one on the left???? Did I, or am I missing something here? Seeing incorrect? Please inform me! Thanks, dave

Its sitting on a beefy post.

my 2nd post,

top left hand corner of picture.

looks like the beam isn't being supported.
Am I missing something, I blew the photo up to 250%
something looks wrong there.
Maybe it's the photo

I dunno, its sitting on the post below it?

Are you going to lay the stone, too ?

It will be thin stone but yes.

That's a heck of a project! :thumbsup: Keep the pictures coming!

flash at the ceiling line and above it a bit.....run it into the airspace and block and hem up. Weeps placed at an angle at each end to get past 5/4 vert trim ...out over block and stone. If not capilary leaks will result at the ceiling and adjacent areas no matter what you do as it will draw from the chimney matter below and at sides.

This is an exact scenario of a large stone over block chimney which leaked since it was built that I have to price monday. The rooer balmed the mason and visa vers for years.

Good to know, ill be vigilant!

must be the camera angle.

fash just above the ceiling line ...into the block and up 1-1/2''....sight pitch in middle pitched to each jack. We always flash exterior f p s above the headers tall ones sometimes each fl.

I have to price a stone fp tomorrow with a similar scenario. The stone chimney leaked from day one for 20 years....mason baming roofer and visa versa.
Capilary entering below the roof flashing at three exposed sides ..

Jobs look good J ..triangulars mixed with sq and rectangles?....I'm a pattern nut whom learned it's the single most important ingrediant to stone work.

This is going to be in his office with stone on it.

J the back wall slanted? did you use the superior throat. I notice the rear wall is 1/2 the opening instead of the 1/3 true rumfords are based on.
You know I like the longer highly chokable throats...lol

Yup its not a true Rumford its just a simple fireplace. 18" deep as it is - slanted to 14" @ the damper. I used a vestal damper and built my own throat.

The post is notched to accept the beam, I'm guessing so that it lines up with the other studs. The reason it looks wrong is because you're looking at the back side of the other one and the cut is nice and tight

What's the bond beam all about? open to accept the mantel?

I wish i did more fireplaces. One every few years isn't enough

I switched from 8" to 4" right there for the granite mantle that is on order. Like my 2x4 supports :laughing:

The hearth today took 8.5 bag of portland.
