Bricks and mortar


Glen, the mason, is now working on the fireplace. Although it will be made with stone from the property, the firebox and flue will first be constructed with cinder block and bricks. It is designed to be Rumford style. Rumford fireplaces are tall and shallow to reflect more heat, and they have streamlined throats to eliminate turbulence and carry away the smoke with little loss of heated room air.
