Looks good!
I did notice a long joint line from front to back close to the middle but I'm sure it don't matter.
Did you grout it yet?
On second thought you would prolly wait till the back is tiled.

Thanks! The long line wont be so noticeable once the stove is on it. ;-) we will be grouting it tomorrow once the tiles set.
The back of the hearth is a different kind of tile that doesnt need to be grouted, the tiles lay right on top of each other. We felt it would easier not having to use spacers and worrying about the tiles sliding down the wall...i got 10 ceramic 1inch spacers at my stove shop nearby it was a nice little kit, comes with the spacers, screws, and wall anchors.

suprz,
Nice job with the tile and design. Can we ask what you have under the tile for your foundation?
Take care,
Tim

I would just like to say "thanks" to all who have put up with my constant questions , rants, etc... I could not have done it without your help and support.

I might go for a guard or screen sort of deal with the kids around.. if for no other reason than to keep some of those plastic toys from getting parked to close.. lol.

Well, the toys are from the grandson, we have been teaching him slowly with the stove in place NOT to even step foot on the hearth let alone the stove. He is only 1 so... But he seems to be learning to go around it. But i will be thinking of a gate while it is burning
