Having built a few fireplaces in my life, that is really nice. I have my grandfather's firebox drawings showing flue details, throat dimensions, damper placement etc. Knowledge that is lost to the present world I fear.
The whole result is impressive, though that word is not sufficient as a descriptor, need one that incorporates great and bad ass in one. The planning required, satisfying a spouse and achieving a goal in itself is an achievement to be lauded.
Well done sir, and I look forward to further installments!
You should share those drawings in another thread so that the information is not lost. Im certain more than a few guys could use it.
