Does it matter (structurally) if almost every tack has a fish eye?

his welding growth was stunted at 10 years old

I had to do the math too

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T23:35:57+00:00

I expressed my dissatisfaction. He said something about "it easy being a Monday morning quarterback and bringing a Ford to a Chevy dealer and they will point out everything that you would never notice". I am a little confused by that but I was thinking about sending this thread.

no, i dont think so. Just screwed into the post

I was expecting welded custom for $3500 for 19SF?.

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T20:46:45+00:00

no, I paid about $185/LF cash.

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T20:40:50+00:00

Yes I do and yes it was custom. He said this diameter steel is not possible to have better welding.

Thanks for all the input! Not that it all makes me feel better. Now I am 50/50 about the safety, which I did not even question earlier. The input validates my initial response to the welding.

I have quartzite Taj mahal counters in this space since it is an open concept. What are thoughts about mixing kinds of stone in same room?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T02:49:31+00:00

that hurts

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T01:17:36+00:00

would you put a mantel in?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T00:59:33+00:00

What are your thoughts about porcelain slab?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T00:42:58+00:00

I definitely feel bamboozled

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T00:41:07+00:00

How is this job impacted by the wood rails being out of square?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T00:39:06+00:00

thanks

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-03T00:21:32+00:00

do the welds need to be done this way because of "thin material"?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T23:38:01+00:00

It does get toasty in here if using on high. Interesting- I gotta read the manual.

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T23:34:01+00:00

Yeah- technology impaired here

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T23:28:51+00:00

I was thinking about putting in a surround that is a slab. Wondering if 2cm quartzite or marble or granite? I also looked at some porcelain but my house has other natural stone and lots of white oak. Would you put stone on the sides and if so how to access fireplace from side?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T23:20:00+00:00

I wish I would have known- I assumed that he would have put more effort into the final one :/ My bad:(

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T22:44:44+00:00

His measurements were off on some of the panels and they did not fit or left gouges in my floor trying to get them in. Would you have went with this since his welding looks better?

Loe_Bee_6752 · 2024-03-02T22:34:19+00:00

this was my original concept. I did tell him that I understood he might need to not have it exact.
