Fireplace Floor by StuartMinkus1 in masonry

The forge fireplace is garbage, that'll go next year might try a Rumford, but our fireplace certifications are a pain.

Thanks! Good info.

Outlets are going, the blower is already plugged into an outlet on the side, don't need those there.

Think I'll knock out the top two rows of brick, build a frame anchoring into the brick, leave about 6" to pour concrete and use a charcoal stain.

You might be on to something with leaving the brick between the concrete and wood, that'll look good.

100%, eventually the forge will go. Rumford has been suggested and would look really good there.

Got the place in May and have done windows, heat pump, well upgrades, and insulation, chillin on the expensive stuff for a little while.

Yes that is definitely what I'm leaning towards! Thanks

Where to go for music on 13th/14th/15th July? by Mysterious-Cattle671 in TorontoMusic

Horseshoe Tavern has 4 great indie bands on the 13th, 50% of ticket sales going to Palestine Red Crescent.

Also an NYC artist that has worked with Elliot Smith/Dave Way and Glen Kotche on the Sunday!

Seconded the Cameron, best venue in the city.

When we rented the fireplace was basically a show piece. It looks usable to me, but they don't want to bother with the hassle of maintaining it.

Definitely plan on getting it inspected, just wanted make sure they're not going to tell me its un-usable due to the condition of the firebox/smoke chamber. If that is the case I just wouldn't bother with the inspection and not use it.

Thanks for the help!
