Damn those are great

 

It is your color, very chic styling as well

 

New medicine?

 

That's only one of his many favorite shades

 

Thanks! It was quite a bit of work but very worth it.

 

Nice! Does your chimney run through the kitchen or did someone just put a brick feature there... if the latter, that's like prime pizza oven territory

 

Yup chimney right through the middle of the house. I looked into making the fireplace double sided, but decided the cost would be way too much for a house thats just a starter home. Got a guy coming next week to inspect it so I can hopefully start using it soon.

 

Having the fire go through could be a blessing or a curse haha. My kitchen gets very hot as is when cooking, wouldn't wanna turn the fire off just to keep it from scorching in the kitchen while I'm making something. My house is stupid old, predates forced air heating by a lot even though it has it now, so I'm sure it had fireplaces at one point. But for the life of me I cannot figure out where they were, I know roughly where to search since I know where I chimney runs but I cannot find evidence of a hearth.

 

33s made it slip right in with ease

 

Thats weird that someone would invest that much into completely removing them. My plan was to do a double sided gas insert so the heat could be regulated better. Though I think for now Ill leave it wood burning.

 

8' Door is where it's at

 

Man those builders work fast. Those houses behind you were just barely framed when I visited.

 

If we're in a measuring contest I got 10 footers

@Sperrunner these seem like your style

 

There was a period where fireplaces were considered "common" and were avoided by folks with class, even before gas forced air was the norm. I grew up in a circa-1885 house that never had a fireplace. I'm not sure what it used for heat originally... maybe a gravity furnace?

 

@Speedytech7

I already have my first cnc project; will need to cut myself a new bracket for the steering stabilizer.



Pounded this thing with the sledge and it's practically fused.

I was considering taking my mini cut off wheel to it but figure I'll just reuse this piece until my table arrives next week.

Got it all cleaned up and the OME stabilizer is a perfect fit for it.

 

Ordered a feeler gauge. Picked the Lisle set in particular because the photo on Amazon showed a "Made in USA" stamp on the tool. I prefer to buy from US manufacturing operations when I can.

The tool that arrived has no markings at all, and the package says "Made in China".

Upon second look at the listing, Amazon does identify the country of origin as China, so I guess my bad on that one, but still... I tried.

 

Maybe they had a big ass stove in the kitchen that was enough to heat the whole house?

 

When your at work but all your neighbors are retired and looking for something to do.
