The fireplace will be in the southeast corner of the living room. We decided to not make it a traditional masonry fireplace because of the cost, so it will be a prefabricated metal fireplace that will be inserted inside the framing shown above. It will be a Lennox RDI-36 that will look quite a bit like a traditional fireplace. It will burn gas. I'd really like to be able to burn wood in it also, but it appears that's not an option.
We bought the fireplace from Fireplaces Plus, and they did the installation. Later steps will include the wood mantel, slate hearth and tile front that will be done by others.
The chimney will be finished on the exterior with wood shingles. The chimney will flare out at the bottom with river rock below that. It should be a fair imitation of a 1911 craftsman chimney.
