looks great good job
 
Looks good. Don't rush, if you can't meet your goal time frame, take the extra time and make it right.
Looks narrow. can you get a liner down the old flue?
 
I've been taking my time. I'd like to get it done by Thanksgiving or at least Christmas. I started about six months ago. I do more head scratching and research than I do working on it. I want to do it right the first time.
I'm doing all the interior work, I did get a mason to help me with the lentil. I'm having the dealer that I bought the stove from do the cap, liner, and final hook up and inspection. They've already been out and said they can do it. The flue measures 8 1/2 X 22 for the first 48" then opens up another 4".
The hearth is the last big job I need to do. I have lots of ideas. I need to make a decision on making a flush or raised hearth, tile or slab.
