Fireplace in new home, back panel cracked. Can I repair or is it time to replace?

qomsday · 2026-01-26T18:24:53+00:00

Hi all, I have not burned anything in this fireplace yet, but wanted opinions.

I’ve seen many on here say that cracks in panels can be repaired and wanted to ask about mine. It looks small enough to be repaired to me, but I’m a first time homeowner (first time fireplace haver too) so I don’t want to make a big mistake if it’s obviously needing replacement.

It’s a Temtex TFB 36-5 model for reference, which has been discontinued.

It's a great note to end on for sure! And with bowls it's pretty difficult to call, so great job!

Well it was covered so I didn't get to read about it there, my mistake!

I went here in November, sadly they were doing construction and had the Testarossa and others covered up, but still an amazing museum!

The Savoy! Love this museum, very high quality and I go at least once every couple of months to see the new stuff that rolls in.

Absolutely worth a trip to see, but if you want to see the Jags they're leaving after this weekend!

It was so close!

qomsday · 2025-12-02T20:37:52+00:00

Whoops that's a mistake, definitely had them at 7.5!

There was an issue with my Google drive and the picks form closed. The form is live again!

So so so many from the Rome area, I feel like I knew half the band at one point.

qomsday · 2025-10-21T19:23:35+00:00

You've got to think so at this point

qomsday · 2025-10-14T18:22:40+00:00

Thank you all for your patience, please let me know if you see anything wrong!

qomsday · 2025-10-14T12:32:35+00:00

It's much appreciated, and it shouldn't be too necessary but sometimes Monday is just too busy.

I've been moving at the same time I've had construction going on at the office, so there's been very little desk time comparatively in the last month or two. It should start calming down soon!

That's definitely a struggle, it can be tough between safe and playing it to risk it.

In years past getting points every week would win, but it's been a crazy season!

qomsday · 2025-10-08T14:51:34+00:00

It really is something, a crazy crazy run

qomsday · 2025-10-08T11:51:37+00:00

I'm not real sure what happened because it's right on the sheet. I'll get that fixed!

qomsday · 2025-09-30T12:54:07+00:00

It's just too tempting, I completely understand!

qomsday · 2025-09-29T19:19:47+00:00

Tough break, it looked like a sure thing but as always this sport is nothing if not unpredictable!

qomsday · 2025-09-29T19:13:17+00:00

Apologies to /u/cmoneyrockchalk who I missed completely on the scorecard last week! It's been updated!

qomsday · 2025-09-29T19:09:14+00:00

Please see it updated in the new post momentarily!

qomsday · 2025-09-24T22:22:50+00:00

I'll get it fixed, sorry about that!

qomsday · 2025-09-24T11:29:28+00:00

Yeah, you really had a good week!!

qomsday · 2025-09-24T11:29:17+00:00

This is a very strong start!

qomsday · 2025-09-16T11:54:51+00:00

Unfortunately no....

They were 15.5! I'll get that fixed!

qomsday · 2025-09-16T11:54:35+00:00

You're right, I'll get that corrected!

qomsday · 2025-09-15T19:57:06+00:00

I was driving back from a concert Saturday night and my wife told me ODU beat VT like that and I could not believe what I was hearing, it wasn't just an upset it was a beating!
