Structures out of SRW's

Many of you have seen barbecues out of SRW paterials. And hoefully, many of you are attempting to make barbecues from that materials as well. SRW's are great materials to create from.

We are making 2 fireplaces from Keystone Country Manor. We will build a masonary firebox, and bridge the block over the hearth just as we would if it was made from block.

One will be integrated into seat bnanch/reatining wall applications. The stone will be bored with a 1" drill, then epoxy injected, then # 4 rebar will be placed on all four corners, set on a 1' thick foundation.

Anyone have thoughts on issues I may encounter?

Just one issue, Bill.

I so want to be like you when I grow up! LOL

Sounds wonderful, no heat issues with the epoxy, I take it? Otherwise, pictures!
