What happens here

The crew removes the remaining original stones around the firebox opening. This area requires real, non-combustible stone due to heat exposure, so the old faux stone must be entirely removed to make way for new materials.

Goal: Prepare the firebox area for installation of real, non-combustible stone.

Tools and materials

  • Chisel — prying off stone pieces, Hammer Unknown used for breaking off stone pieces, Pry Bar Unknown
