instead, we went an entirely different direction... steel.

ok, the hearth and surround may look all rusty and disgusting in the picture above, but take my word for it, it looks pretty cool in person. (flashes make everything look weird.) at first, i thought we'd try to take care of all the rust by eliminating it entirely, but honestly, i kind of like the effect now that i've seen it up close. we'll just smear some mineral oil all over to darken it up a bit and call it a day.
next up: busting through the wall with the stove pipe (luckily, the pass through is already there) and we'll be all set for our first fire.
oh yeah, i better order some wood...
