Firebox Construction in Reading Complete!!

Our job here is done!  Homeowner to have facade and hearth done as a separate project.  Once the facade and hearth are finished this fireplace will be good to go.  We lined the flue with a stainless steel liner to properly vent the combustion from this woodburning fireplace.  To see the progression photos for this project http://www.dmstorrschimney.com/our-soot-stories/firebox-construction-in-reading-part-4-  Check back here, the next project I will be blogging about is a Bellfires Fireplace!...
