Fireplace

The chimney was inspected by Matt Kastlunger of

Kleen Sweep San Diego⁠

. For the (numerous) necessary repairs he recommended Paul Walker of

Custom Masonry and Fireplace Design⁠

who repaired the

clinker brick⁠

stack inside and out, from bottom to top, adding a spark arrestor. We were all surprised to learn that the wooden former had never been removed from the original construction. A new log set was purchased from (where else?)

The Warm Hearth Fireside and Patio Shop⁠

, on La Mesa Boulevard, and after Joe Scheneman, plumber (619) 549-9892, adjusted the routing of the gas pipe — the fireplace was safely back in action. A short while later we added the Curtis Jeré on the dining room side — after it caught our eye at

Mid-Century Store⁠

, San Diego.

Steven Churchill captured the wonderful colors of the clinker bricks when he took these photos for the

La Mesa History Center⁠

18th Annual Home Tour.
