What happens here

For a clean finish around the fireplace opening, trim it out using leftover furring strips. These can be ripped down to a 1/4 inch thickness if needed, and stained or painted to match the overall aesthetic. Secure these trim pieces with a brad nailer.

Goal: Create a neat, finished edge around the fireplace opening.

What they say

[Music] So, the inside of the fireplace right here, we just trimmed it out with our little furring strips that we actually used to mount our plywood to right here. And then we just took and ripped the furring strip down to about a/4 in. And so made this trim right here, which actually trimmed this out really nice.
