Is a fireplace the same as a firepit or outdoor oven?

• <div><p>A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

Q: Do brick houses have framing?

• <div><p>Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don&rsquo;t have traditional framing. </p></div>

Q: Is brick staining cheaper than painting?

• <div><p>Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.</p></div>

Q: How long does a brick wall last?

• <div><p>A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall&rsquo;s life span (especially the exterior of a house). </p></div>

Q: What cleans creosote from brick?

• <div><p>The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.</p></div>

Beautiful! Groundworks installed a retaining wall for a steep side of our driveway in 2009. This winter, the other side of our driveway started eroding and we called Groundworks. This week they were able to build a shorter, lower wall, matching the 7 year old wall. Then they finished off the...

It was a very busy time of the year and we were not in a rush. We loved the ideas and she seemed to really understand what I liked. When we picked up the design, someone also walked us around to see every plant or stone that was in the plan. They were very flexible and suggested areas to save...

Aaron was timely and very considerate with his plowing. Because I have a gravel driveway, he knew that he had to plow a bit higher until we got a hard freeze, so as not to displace the gravel. He showed the same consideration in the spring.

"It went well. It was wonderful to see a family work together like that father and two sons they got along with. They got the job done. I wanted to pitch in and help myself sometimes just because it's something I used to do. I had to force myself to stand back and just let them do their work. I would absolutely hire them again. It was a pleasure to have them out here. I even cooked them a barbecue one day. It was awesome."
