Title: Fireplace, War of northern Aggression Park and Zeus
Post by: peternap on February 20, 2009, 06:57:03 PM
Some pictures of a walk we took in one of the many National Battlefields.
First, I finally found one of the firepits with the hood. I'm putting this in the barn. I doubt I'll make out of copper though.

These are some of the cannons we ran the yankees off with. ::)

Nice firepit hood/stacks. That's exactly what I was thinking of way back when you queried for ideas.

Peter I think copper is on the way down.  Might be able to construct it with copper in a couple of years. ;D

I like the fire pit.  The copper looks nice, but I can see where it might be cost prohibitive.  Few years back when we were looking for copper ceiling tiles when we did our kitchen, they cost about $16 EACH!  We decided really quickly to go with shiny silver tin!

Too true!  You ever seen the size of the stuff that comes out of those dogs!

Wow, Zeus is getting big!  He looks so much like the Great Dane, Hoss, I had & I can attest to the size of mines he laid  :o 

I like that fireplace too!   8)
