Best way to construct a fireplace on a brick wall?




Brielle


One of our walls in out living room is brick and we would like to have a fireplace there. How would you suggest building one? It has a gas pipe hookup but we are also looking at electric ones. My husband can lay bricks, tile, stone, whatever. He can also make a mantel. We would really appreciate any tips or suggestions!


Answer
=== a wood burning fireplace ?? or gas fired logs?? ==== for me the best option would be to but a free standing iron wood burning stove ... you can build a nice brick under-layment [[ fire protection ]] and then you can just cap off the gas pipe === those inserts are awesome and very safe ... just an option for space saving === if you build a fireplace keep in mind the space [[ keep it smallish ]] and please ask yourself is this adding to the value of our home ....

how do i stick baseboard to fireplace? (bricks) vertically keeping it in place?

Answer
Nail through board with hammer to mark brick. Electric drill with bit for drilling stone where nailed showed mark. Insert dowel same size as drill , hammer nail into dowel,.
