    What a beautiful centerpiece for your media room. Very nice TV! I see that, instead of a flat screen, you went with a retro look. I take it the vertical black thing is the main antenna? I guess that would make the twin circle thing to the side a vhf/uhf antenna, right? During the holidays you could tune to one of those channels that continuously shows a crackling fire. That would really set the mood! In all seriousness that is a gorgeous setup and stove! May it heat a happy home for many years to come!

    Looking good there! Wish we could have gone with the PH instead of the IS for aesthetics, but a side loader just wasn't in the cards. You did a great job laying the stone and concrete!

    Phenomenal hearth, my friend! When the snows flying, you're never gonna want to leave that room!!

    I did a big install years back, and I'm proud to say that I still get the "butterflies" waiting to fire it up every fall after a long summer!!

    Congrats on the new home, prayers for many happy years there for you and your family!
