Well, It's in...
I think it turned out really well. I would like to thank everyone for the assitance, especially Volemister, you guys have been great..
Couple follow up issues...
1. Hearthstone Does Not approved of putting putting a junction box in the firebox because they feel it is against the national code, and because the cord and such has not been tested in that application. The installer and the township told me I could do it, but since we are dealing with fire here, I really wanted to be conservative and be covered from an insurance standpoint. The funny thing is that the cord actually comes out from behind the surround, which to me is implying it could be plugged in behind the surround.
2. Since the cord does come from behind the surround, my trick of not mortaring to the top of the joint behind the hearth extension and the hearth worked perfectly. No cord is visable. I will install a thin electric box on the floor to the left of the hearth extension, and you'll never see it.....
3. One of the feet in the front was bent...the installers said this is common, they extend the feet all the way when shipping and any tipping causes them to bend....they fixed it....
4. The surround feet were not even and so they couldnt get the surround butted up against the wall right...they ordered a new one and will come back to finish up.....I was impressed that they didnt try to force it and do the job right...
Again, thanks for all the help
