Re: Floor

Thanks!

I'm still trying to get it all straight.

Everyone has a different way......

But I think I have it.... for the most part.

Re: Floor

Dave,

The bricks were cut with the harbor freight saw that a lot of us have purchased. It?s not that hard to do, you just kinda spin the brick as you feed. The slab is 3.5 inches ? you can see it here http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/phot...ndex.php?n=201 I went outside the box a bit when I built the hearth, I wanted as much height as possible for the wood storage area.

The insblok is sitting on mortar, in hind sight, I would have set it on the clay/sand mix that the bricks sit on. The product is so dry it will suck the moister out of your hair. I am not going to mortar the floor bricks. I?m thinking they will get locked in when the walls go up, and yes, the walls are sitting on the insulation around the floor.

Les?

Re: Floor

Looking good!

How did you cut the curves in the bricks?

And how thick is your slab? 3.5 inches?

And one more question.

Are you going to mortar the bricks down and is the insblok mortared down?

I guess that was two.

And I assume your walls are going around the floor....

( I sure sound like an excited noob........ I guess because I am)

Coolness!

I got the floor cut this weekend. Cutting fire brick is almost therapeutic compared to the pavers. Cutting the insblok on the other hand is NASTY. I couldn't believe the amount of dust that flies out of that stuff.

I need to get the surface a lot smoother but will wait until I get these locked in.
