This
customer wanted a fireplace (Majestic DVRT41RN) in his
basement, but he wanted it recessed in the wall so that
the face of the fireplace would be flush with the wall.
To do this, we had to header the studs in the wall, move
electrical outlets and cable TV. We framed an enclosure
(called a chase) for the fireplace, ran the vent up and
across the ceiling through the stone veneer on the face
of the home. We extended the gas line to the fireplace
as well as electrical wires for the fan power. Then, we
added a thermostat, sheet rocked the chase, added the
mantle and hearth to complete the job.
