That is a beautiful space. Kudos. I think you mentioned somewhere back around June that you were extra worried about break-in fumes as there's a baby on the way? Imagine walking in that room and seeing baby asleep in mom's arms, pup at her feet, warming up by the fire on a cold blustery night. Can't get much better than that. What a great way to cap off the year....

thank you. She is do early January so the insert will be put to the test.
 
Any pictures of the trim install?
yes sir, posted on page 4. Just the final product, didn't do any of the progression
 
That is what I was hoping for, what kind of trim did you use?
sorry, didn't even think about it while doing it. Had a lot of chiseling to do on the sides to make it all flush with the hearth. Not sure what kind of trim it is because my father actually precut it for me at his house, i just cut it to exact length and installed it. Its actually two pieces top and bottom
 
Ok, that is what I thought it looked like, I was wondering how you were going to tackle trimming something that tall. I will have the same issue if/when I extend my hearth so I will have that to the ol memory bank.
ya nailed the first to the floor then second on top and nailed into first piece. Think it was 2" high
 
Thanks. All bluestone
 
Nice install. Glad it worked out. Keep an eye on the temps getting to the television, btw. Of course, if it's a plasma, it will create its own heat!
 
It's lcd. Temps run 85 to 90 when running it full tilt

Just wanted to say thanks for your help and this thread. I finally finished mine and just need to clean up wiring. Saw that hampton in person and it was nice!
sweet! You gonna get some pics up?
 
Yup! I posted some but I have to post some more tomorrow, I am finishing up the wires and I stained the trim a little darker. Also need to clean up the living room to show the full finished effect.
