Just wanted to get a couple pics up because I know we all like them. Extending the Hearth is stalled and waiting for my neighbor(electrician) to come over and move my plug up behind the TV solving the dangling cord issues and allowing me to finish the corner. The rest was the original hearth I installed last fall for my VC Defiant you can see in the corner making a really heavy light stand. It will probably be a decoration for a while until I get enough man power over here to move it out. Hard to see but I have a stair stepped 1/2 wall at the break in the hearth to keep the splits in place. I left a brick out at the base of the 1/2 wall in the even I want to add an OAK later it will be available. I also installed the ceramic tile in the floor to keep with code and not eat up too much living space with the 9x4x4 Paver bricks and having a monster toe stubber.
Once finished and sealed this should keep the floor dry if snow comes in on the wood and to some degree keep the mess in it's place. As you can see my reason for having only one critism of this stove - the RH opening. If it were a lefty it would be perfect but I can move a lot of wood around the door for 1500 bucks.
Glass is a little dirty because my morning warm up fire is winding down. Nothing a scotch pad and a little soapy water cannot cure in seconds.
