The floor will go right to it. At least it's a gas fireplace!

I like that dry stack stone also, always have since it's been out. Comes in many sizes, shapes and colors.

It all has a pattern. Some just lay them in and cut rock, then some keep the pattern and it turns out much better and cleaner.

Nice work kman, here inCali , codes for fireplaces are 12" non combustible material all the way around, I always had real fireplace wood burning so the hearth came in real handy for spark , ash clean up, or high enough just to sit and have a hot toddy, anyway enjoying the pics that your sharing thanks

I had a wood burner in my trailer. Took that out and put a King wood stove in. The electric bill was getting too high and the fireplace was eating way too much wood. The stove is much more efficient but not too pretty!
Thanks, I'll keep the pics coming.

I saw this beauty for sale just west of Minot, ND last week. It looks like it has a complete set of 74 shop manuals on the seat.

It looks all original. I would have loved to take it home with me.

Ford had some great looking wheels back then. They were/are much better than the generic mags that you see today.

You prefer the stamped steel hub cap to a cast or forged aluminum wheel? Not me!

Sweet truck, what they asking for it? Shoot, for the right price, I'd fly up there and drive it back. I can't see the phone number in the window. Anyone read the number in the picture?

The # is 701-240-5488

I didn't pay much attention to the price since there was no chance of me getting it and I was rushed, but I think I remember seeing about $6500.

If you do get it, you have to promise to give me a ride in it on your way home as a finder's fee .

Oh it happened. I've had this little RC trophy truck for a while now and kind of stopped using it. Recently I decided to bust it out and try attaching a camera to it. It worked out pretty well! The first concept used a screw thru the body that fit the bottom of the camera. But it was way too shaky. I decided electrical tape was better. The video is about 11 minutes so I won't upload that but it looks kind of cool.
