The Tripwire Presents: The Fireplace with AA Bondy – “I Can See the Pines are Dancing”
I am going to be making a fireplace surround and hearth using ceramic tile. Its a zero clearance wood burning fireplace. The walls where the surround will go is sheetrock and the hearth is wood-framed and raised off the floor 12″. I have a pretty good idea how to start, but I am curious if anyone has any tips that I should know about. Maybe you have done this yourself? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
We have lived in the house six weeks or so, it was built in ‘94. This is a gas insert in a real fireplace (we have a chimney)…the pilot light is always on.
It very irregularly (like once a week or less) does this weird thing where it starts to make a drumroll or machine gun noise for about two seconds then stops. It continues to do this at irregular intervals until we turn the fireplace on and run it a while. Then it stops again for a week or more before it starts again….what gives? Is there air in the line or something? I am going to call the gas company but wondered if anyone heard of this happening before. It drives my dog crazy. She thinks there’s some critter in there!
Nope, it is not windy. Nope, it’s not a woodpecker. It’s very loud and coming from the pipe area.

I was told a firebacker would help radiate heat from the fireplace. Is there anything else that should be done? Are there different quality of firebackers? How will I know if one is good quality? Should it be made of cast iron’? Any more suggestions would also be appreciated. (The fireplace is vented with glass doors over the opening.
I have red walls and a starch white fireplace. The fireplace looks aweful. I am not sure what would be a good color to paint it. Its a concrete fireplace.
I think the tan would be good. however my adjacent wall is tan, would that still look okay. My couch is dark brown
