Out with the old

Sold the pellet stove and took out the junk fireplace. We even got enough free wood for the winter.
The project should be close to complete in 3 days.

I'm picking up some tripple wall at sutherlands tomorrow as well as support kit. I should have everything except for the silicone roof flange (I have a metal roof)
The corner where the stove is going will have 1/2 durock and 12" tiles or brick all the way up. We have been wanting to do this for awhile but just now able to get it done.

The only thing I have true concerns with is the ceiling above the stove. 3/4 of the stove will have a 9 to 10' sheetrock ceiling that follows the hip roof the other 1/4 of the stove will be in an area that is 6 1/2' to the floor. That area of the ceiling will have hardibacker and be tiled like the walls in the corner. One concern in the heat of course and the other is the tile breaking loose because of the heat cycle.

I finished the install in about a week and have had a dozen fires in it.

Oh, forgot the free red oak for next year

I'm thinking you'll need more than the old Wild Thing to cut up that monster tree!

I got a new husqvarna at Atwoods

edit: that tree is a little spooky the way its hung on the stump. We've been limbing it trying to get to to roll off the stump. The next step is trying to roll it or pull it off with a ford 3000.
