10 days until my sweep helps me install my new Summers.

I'm replacing this 1979 Fisher Mama Bear:

The Fisher is a rear vent and the new Summers is a top vent:

So I'm taking out the two courses of brick and putting in tile to lower the stove and accommodate the top vent:

Found some natural slate at Lowes today, on sale $1.59 sq/ft. We'll eventually do the whole room.
