Alfredo starts the base of the fireplace after constructing the wood storage box below.

This pic shows the wood storage area below that is roughed in as well as the beginning of the fireplace.

Ash clean-out on firebox floor and damper for the fresh air on the side wall. Please note that there is no-where in our town that has the fresh air kit for REAL masonary fireplaces so we had to fly one in from Tennessee overnight. Many places had the kit for fireplace inserts as they are the primary type that are use in our area.

A picture from the firebox floor picturing the flue in the top/ceiling of the firebox.

The whole unit to date. Firebox is 4 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 32" from bottom to arch top. Side walls are 24" high. There should be no problem placing 36" logs in the forebox to build a fire.

Just a view also showing the new doors/window with the new fireplace.
