    Figured I would bring this thread back up over here on the new site. We tore out the plaster wall covering the brick fireplace and exposed the chimney. I had an insulated liner installed for the new stove.

    Last week I put a plaster coat of mortar over the brick and filled in the opening left from the old fireplace. Tonight's progress was putting the stone up. Next project is laying the Hearth stones.
