Building the Fireplace

We decided to build 2 flues so we could have 2 fireplaces - one in the basement and one large fireplace in the family room.

It took a while to decide what brick to use but finally chose a Glen Gery brick that is an oversized, face molded handmade brick to give an old world feel - as if the firplace has been there for hundreds of years.

Our mason is on the job now and here is work in progress....
