Hi everybody first time post whoo hhooo!
Like the title says I am going to build a Fireplace with a wood combustion heater without using a zero clearance box into my lounge room.I thought I would post some pictures while it is being built so it helps anybody else contemplating the same.
I will post a plan that I designed for the job so I could have an idea as to the ascetics of it in relation to the ceiling height and wall layout.
I want to have the lower section where the heater sits in veneer stack-stone and the upper section in plasterboard so it can be painted. i thought a whole vertical section of stone would be top heavy and the heater would become less appealing , so that's why the plasterboard above.
The wall that it backs onto is the other side of my walk in robe just a timber stud wall lined with 10 mm plasterboard.
