Old and new. Saved ~$900 in heating and electricity this year and the house avereaged 74 deg.

New FP looks a lot nicer than the dated "modern" look. Nice job.

Peace,

From 3/10 to 9/10 (not a 10 due to personal taste differences). I especially like the semi-tight joints, the keystone, and the color agreement. Great work!! I would be excited if ours turns out that well: We will be trying to do this (first photo, though not necessarily with this model):

Beautiful. Well, gotta go throw another rock at my ugly hearth.

Very nice! My brother and I tore out the 6 month old fireplace in his new belinski and did the same thing. He loves it!

George - I showed the contractor the following picture and my wife and I picked out the stone from a local quarry. It is real stone, but sliced thin like cultured stone. We are very pleased with the results. We were very pleasantly surprised with the heat output of the BIS!

Your setup is FAR classier than the pic you gave the contractor. Very nice setup, and the straight lines really set off the curved top of the BIS.

Very nice, I'm jealous, some day I need to do something like that to my fireplace.
