Woodstock Ideal Steel install

Great looking install there and welcome to the club! But it doesn't look like that hearth has enough pad in front of the stove door?

 

You're right but all he has to do is cut the carpet back because it's in the basement

 

Tile is being laid now that extends 19" on the floor. Pictures are not of the completed project, just progress so far. Drywall, trim, tile...lot of pieces to finish.

 

Not to belabor this point, but if it's at the end of the circuit and you buried it it's somewhat fine since there is no draw downstream, however, it would be best to find the junction upstream of that and disconnect it. Explanation: burying a box is risky. If there is any chance of a carbon build up thus resistance it would be at a junction. Case in point: a month ago the lights did not work in my basement. All low draw LED's. Being someone who plays an electrician on TV and am comfortable with Tesla, I opened the junction where the switch was. All connections were twisted and soldiered by a Vermont Yankee electrician! The neutral twist was corroded apparently as when I touched/moved it the lights went on. IF this were buried, no way would I find the fault.

 

The box is capped and attached to a stud. The only reason I left it in the wall is so I can add the outlet back. The plan is to cut a section of drywall out near the corner and add the outlet back. I just haven't had time, and didn't want to cut the drywall out yet. This was a temporary fix to get the outlet and wire away from the stove wall. All a work in progress. My brother-in-law is a journeyman electrician so we are in good hands.

 

Did you find any rebar?

 

No rebar
