Candle wax has dripped on our stone fireplace hearth. I've scrapped much of it off, but the stone is porous and wax is still there. Any suggestions has to how to remove it completely are welcomed. Thanks!

The eternal problem of wax on the hearth. A very pernicious and tenacious problem.

Good luch on that one. No suggestions, sorry.

Fireplaces, Wood Burning and Heating Stoves, Flues and Chimneys

cracked fire wall

on Apr 27, 2000

We recently looked at an 1884 house. The disclosure statement mentioned a cracked firewall. How big of a problem is this? What range of expense might be expected? Thanks

Fresh Air Intake for Fireplace

on May 02, 2000

When our home was built 10 years ago, the mason finished our fireplace with the wrong material (brick instead of slate). When they replace the brick with the slate, they covered the vent for the fresh air intake. What would be involved in opening that air intake back up? Would it be a do-it-yourself job or would it be better left to a pro?
