Building Out A Fireplace Wall

It sticks out about 8 inches from the exterior.

Building out a fireplace wall. Hope this video helped if you too want to build a fireplace. It was basically a big box with studs every 16 inches on center. Building a fireplace mantel is a great beginner building project that anyone can handle. I used 1 x 4 pine wood around the tile and mitered it in the corners.

We built a frame much like a small wall and attached it to the studs on the wall. Cut out wood to extend the fireplace hearth. The pvc pipe sticking out to the left houses all our tv cords. The second wall gives the fireplace dimension.

Mark the dimensions of the fireplace against the wall and the footprint of the fireplace on the floor using painter s tape. I did have to run the wood through my table saw to thin it out just a hair so that it was the same thickness as the tile.

Store the firewood for your fireplace in one of these diy firewood racks. Step 2 cut the metal lath with a utility knife to fit inside the painter s tape so the dimensions of the fireplace are covered both against the wall and on the floor. So once the fireplace was framed out and the built in cabinetry installed we had two feet of drywall on the left side of the windows and about 6 visible on the right. This is also a budget project that you can do for just 50 and in a few hours time.
