Chimney Cleaning and Stone Hearth at the Log Cabin

Description

#logcabin #tinyhouse #shelter

With autumn approaching, I prioritize finishing the stone hearth behind the woodstove and sweeping the chimney, cleaning all of the creosote out of it before reinstalling it. I make a mantel out of concrete since I can't use wood, which would be at risk of catching fire. Tune in this Friday to watch me finish the stonework and install a copper backsplash behind the stove pipe.

Thanks for watching! New videos every FRIDAY.
