Building an outdoor fireplace pt. 1

3/9/2011

0 Comments

 
Today we started a new project-building an outdoor fireplace for the Stone Garden Guesthouse of Valle Crucis (http://stonegardenguesthouse.com/).  The owner wanted a small outdoor fireplace to enhance a seating area for the guests.  First thing we had to do was collect the materials for the masonry core.

Next we excavated for the base and poured a concrete footing.

Then, after we laid out and planned for the size, we built a pad of block and laid the floor of the fireplace.

Our next and final step for the day was to build the walls of the firebox.  This is a very precise job with little margin for error, and we had to make sure it was perfect.
