My weekend retreat is 120 years old farm house build on an area of two acres. Now, I am building a two beds anexie trying not to spoiling the old look (self designed) but with modren facilities (structure is complete). I have a good maison but he does'nt have expertise in building fireplaces. I will appeciate if any help can be given in providing the measurements/ designs for DIY.
Thanks.
Did try DIYnetwork.com but not much of a help. Thanx
I now think that I should buy one and ask the archetect to take care of it as it is one of those projects which I wanted to do the designing bit all by my self. Although, all the designs were approved by my Archtect.
Thanx for all your input.
Building a masonry fireplace is a job that takes experience. Maybe you should consider buying the fireplace kits made from steel. They have brick veneer fronts for nice appearance.

NFPA 211. This book contains all of the requirements (clearances, minimum design specifications etc) of solid-fuel burning appliances, including masonry fireplaces. However, it is not a blueprint, and much work must be spent in understanding the manual and cross referencing the different sections that apply to build a fireplace to that standard. Good luck.
