I Had Marble Trim Fall of My Outside Fireplace…any Ideas on How to "glue" It Back…need a Stong Glue?
You should chip the old thinset mortar off and clean the surface real good then put the piece back with fresh thinset. Since this piece is marble you want to use white thinset so the color does not bleed through.
To make it even stronger and more resistant to the expansion and contraction around the heat from a fire you should use a latex additive instead of water to mix the thinset.

I need to be inspired.
If you go into Barnes and Noble they have a great section for design and interior decorating for inspiration. I have a little old house and enjoy looking through the books dedicated to that.

we are looking for a house and found a nice one in westchester county ny but it doesnt have a fireplace. We don't want the ones that have a metal chimmney or a stove.
I had a chimney fire in a pre-fab metal chimney and fire box fireplace a few months ago. Being concerned, I asked the contractor about replacing it with a masonary firebox and chimney if there proved to be meld or damage upon inspection. I'm in SoCal and was shocked that he said between $10,000-12,000. But, our chimney is internal (between the floors and walls) so it would require major reconstruction to accomplish.

i have this crazy vision in my head but i have not seen it and maybe it already exists. i am thinking of making my indoor fireplace connect so it also serves as a fireplace out doors …. does that make sense? is that even possible? in other words is there a way i can create a small openning in my wall through the fire place so that the fireplace connects into my pation ….. if it already exists can you provide me with the proper term and some pictures if possible.
thanks
yes you can!
I certainly wouldn't leave a big hole in the wall and put a screen over it. You will have to alter the existing fireplace so the opening is big enough to put a whole sealed unit into.
The easiest to install is a heat-n-glo twilight model. There is a fixed glass on both sides and the outside meets the same standards as a window.
see it here: http://www.heatnglo-lifestyle.com/products/fireplaces/twilight.asp
you can also put in your zip code to find a local dealer. if you don't have any luck or want to see more options contact me through my website www.american-fireplaces.com
good luck!
