Completed the hearth yesterday and set to pick up the PH from ABF terminal tomorrow morning. Hope to be burning by tomorrow afternoon.
Nothing fancy, just tried to make it look decent. 2 layers 3/4" ply, 2 layers of 1/2" backerboard & the tile. Only 9 small holes in the hardwood floor so minimal restoration if it goes with us when/if we move.
Just as FYI, I should have said " Only 9 small holes in the hardwood floor so minimal floor restoration required if the hearth comes out of the house for the new owner when/if we sell and move". The 9 screws are UNDER the tiles and backer board so some tear out is required but the original hardwood floor is minimally affected.
