Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

Is the word "massive" acceptable for this project ?

The tile work makes a large transformation in the appearance. I am anxious to see the final outcome of your hard work.

Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

got back to work over the weekend and the flue is done and parging with CA / perlite started.






way more parging...doing another 4 inches or so with the CA cement, then changing to regular portland for the remaining 8 to 10 inches of insulation.

Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

Yeah, more brick and ties coming to buttress....

Started flue, using split flue liners and firebrick..

Looks good, but you probably need some more mass to buttress that arch.
