Hi there - thanks for a great outline! I'm about to tackle a similar project myself. One question - regarding the triple flue arrangement. Would it be better if the outer 250mm flue rested on top of the Hebel firebox roof, rather than on the heater itself, so as to vent hot air from between the hea...
No you cant do this as the flu has to be a triple design by law that is from the heater to the outside vent fully seale...

That steel beam is a strutting beam and usually it runs parallel with the ceiling joist's,when its placed on an angle like this it is to either support a section of roof or where the other end of it(not shown) is placed over a solid section of wall and not over any openings. That RHS of steel welded...

Almost finished now, All that is needed is a nice piece of Black Granite for a Hearth and the last section of stack stone layed above the hearth and the skirting's installed either side.

Do you have to build a hebel chimney or will this just be fire retardent plasterboard? The Section above the Black Granite Mantle is timber frame lined with cement sheeting which is non combustible then plasterboard over .

Went up top and cut hole and installed dektite (heat resistant one) then plenty ...

A thought I had was to raise the pot on a pedestal of some sort in the ce...

I like the canna lillies, you could have them instead of the bird of paradise. The red flax is wrong, a green strappy leaf is whats required, like the liy turf suggested, it will grow in part shade, deep shade, or full sun. in a moist fertile soil. It has blue trumpets of flowers. The hedging aroun...

Usually the distance is governed by the unit missing the front rail of the cupboard inside the carcass.
