Skinny questioned:


I am going to be making a fireplace surround and hearth using ceramic tile. Its a zero clearance wood burning fireplace. The walls where the surround will go is sheetrock and the hearth is wood-framed and raised off the floor 12″. I have a pretty excellent thought how to start, but I am curious if anyone has any tips that I should know about. Maybe you have done this yourself? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

clearview questioned:


Currently we have a manufacture fireplace. On the front of the fireplace it has a metal net screen that you pull from both sides to close it. This screen is attached by small round links to a metal bar that runs across the top outside opening of the fireplace. We want to install a glass fireplace door – 1st – how does one remove that bar? 2nd – how do you get the right measurements for the new glass fireplace door? 3rd – how do you install the fireplace door? Your help is much appreciated.
