Are masonry fireboxes better than prefabricated ones?

• <div><p>Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.</p><p>Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.</p></div>

Q: Can you do German schmear on stone?

• <div><p>Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to worry about black stains on my bricks?

• <div><p>Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick&rsquo;s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.</p></div>

Q: What material should I pick for my stone wall?

• <div><p>Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.</p><p>Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-most-common-masonry-materials.htm">common wall materials</a> like brick, cinderblock, and concrete. </p></div>

Q: Are brick houses better insulated?

• <div><p><b>Yes, brick houses are better insulated</b>, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.</p></div>

We were promptly greeted when we arrived. We advised that we wanted pedicures. They asked us to give them about 5-10 minutes to get the stations set up and while we waited to pick the colors we wanted. We were seated in the massage chairs and got to soak our feet. The gentlemen we had working on...
