Upgraded the Fireplace....
So after 14yrs of looking at that tired old painted brick and tearing thru far too much of my precious, sweat soaked fir firewood I broke down...
Everyone around these parts is doing the ledge stone thing, so I went with fieldstone plus our house ain't new and I thought it suited more. Dang happy but of course there is the mission creep factor, middle of the month my finishing carpenter is here. Two bookcase units with a firewood bin and possibly a scraped hardwood floor. Still have to see if I can get my head around the sticker shock of that flooring...... Dirk |

I like that.
I have the same painted brick fireplace but I'm just going to let the next guy worry about it.

Looks great! It will really add to the value of your home. The cabinets and flooring will make it even better.

Gots the red oak plywood and a board to rip for trim caps and found our flooring.
The look we where after and in vinyl (nice and Jaeger durable) with a sweet underlay attached to each board, Home Depot no less! The cost of true scraped hardwood was breathtaking, just couldn't justify it. Cabinet dude is here momentarily..... Dirk |

Getting closer.......
The firewood run was a two day affair, made me tired. A pint glass of vodka on ice and a couple Alleve fixes all. Dirk |

That's beautiful! Enough to make you look forward to winter.. or at least not dread it quite so much.

Trim work scares me, so a very stressful afternoon
Check out the beautiful smoke filtered light coming thru the window, that's 1:30 in the afternoon - what a mess this summer has been. Auto will final fill, I'll pull the shelves so the mason can do his work on the wall tomorrow, then wet sand with 1500 & mineral spirits and final varnish Up next the flooring and base, oh goody......
