Question about a vapor barrier in the alcove...there will be 1/2" durock with approx. 3" of cultured stone veneer on top of that. The sheathing is...
I ordered the liquidcrete kit online, and needed just shy of the 7 bags I ordered...so it was either make it happen, or wait another week for the...
Got 'er poured today as planned, but not without much frustration. My drill burned out mixing the first batch,so I ran to HD to see if they had...
Ready to pour the hearth pad in the AM. [IMG]
I think I've decided based on your post...I'll take four 12' 2x4s (HH are 12' in diameter) and make a tic-tac-toe grid, then use OSB to make a...
Hmmm...you might be on to something there
I thought about something like that too, but it's freaking wind tunnel here in the winter, and I doubt any tent-like structure would survive.
My plan is to keep my seasoning wood in HH configuration since it looks badass, and then move the upcoming season's wood into the shed around...
I'm still neck deep in the project to install my wood stove, and am not going to have the time to get to build a wood shed like I had originally...
The hearth area is fully enclosed already...I actually considered having it delivered when I had a giant hole in the house, but I'm sure the kids...
Just confirmed with my neighbor that he can unload it with his tractor on Monday...I'll swing by the shop after work and have them load it up.

That's just to deliver it to my garage from their shop about 8 miles away...these guys have been trying to soak me every step of the way, which is...
Definitely leaning toward this option...I have a couple of neighbors with tractors who might be able to lend a hand.
For a price, of course...call me old fashioned, but I absolutely can't bear paying someone for something I can do myself, unless of course the...
Update: passed the chimney and framing inspections today, and made a little progress on the sheathing. Once the T-showers started, I made a Home...
Forecast calls for 50% chance of rain tomorrow, so looks like we'll get one last chance to employ the kiddie pool in the alcove. Can't wait to...
Got the chimney stacked, but ended up about 6" short! I already let the inspector know, and he's fine with seeing the invoices so he knows the...
There are straps at the 30 degree elbows that are taking a lot of the strain, but I'll go ahead and throw some hangers in for good measure.
Chimney day! Don't worry, I have a ceiling support box extension on the way, so this is just a dry fit for the time being. I have the inspection...
