Q: 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&rsquo;t technically a fireplace as it isn&rsquo;t enclosed. An outdoor oven&mdash;commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>&mdash;often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you&rsquo;d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

Q: Where can I buy bricks?

• <div><p>You can purchase from many brick manufacturers and distributors via their websites, where you can also get estimates based on the quantity you need. You&rsquo;ll find bricks at your local home improvement stores as well, though they won&rsquo;t have as much of a variety to choose from. As for antique bricks, secondary selling websites like eBay can be a great resource.</p></div>

Q: What is the strongest material for a stone house?

• <div><p>Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It&rsquo;s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren&rsquo;t as high because a granite quarry isn&rsquo;t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren&rsquo;t as strong or weather-resistant as granite. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime my brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you&rsquo;ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. </p></div>

Q: Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to &ldquo;settle&rdquo; and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or &ldquo;stair step&rdquo; cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

They were very prompt on day of service. They removed old asphalt with no damage to surrounding grass. They added more stone to base. They put in about 2.5 inches of binder and 1.5 inches of final asphalt. Then they power rolled it. Final product looks great and is nice and thick. Looks like...
