Do it yourself fireplace remodel made easy, or at least it seems that way.
These outdoor propane fire table / fire pit pictures come to us from Doug Robertson. We helped Doug build his dream fire table all through Emails and phone conversations. So check out the progress from start to finish.
We sent him an Aluminum pan and an H-burner designed to work safely with propane, as well several pounds of 1/2" Clear Base Glass FireGlass and Mini Mint Green Diamonds.
Here is what Doug had to say:
"Good Morning Ed,
Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you very much for all your e-mail
help with my Fire Coffee Table. We have used it every night since I got it
going and have received many-many compliments about it."
First, the tile that was installed is not rated for fire. This tile would of popped off as soon as the fire was turned on. So do a little research before you begin. We can help in many ways, just call and ask.

It may have of seemed to be a good idea at the time, but it wasn't!
![Christy's Fireplace 2 Christy's Fireplace 2](/gallery/73605.gif)
When redesigning a fireplace we suggest card board mache'. A card board mock up so you can see a basic preview of your project.
![Christy's Fireplace 3 Christy's Fireplace 3](/gallery/73606.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 4 Christy's Fireplace 4](/gallery/73607.gif)
Below you can see the bottom, top and mantle in card board.
![Christy's Fireplace 5 Christy's Fireplace 5](/gallery/73608.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 6 Christy's Fireplace 6](/gallery/73609.gif)
Now the rip and tear process begins!
![Christy's Fireplace 7 Christy's Fireplace 7](/gallery/73610.gif)
Below we installed the extra electrical for the components and the TV. The components will be installed on the right side out of view with a black glass door. This will be installed later.
![Christy's Fireplace 8 Christy's Fireplace 8](/gallery/73611.gif)
Below the framing begins.
![Christy's Fireplace 9 Christy's Fireplace 9](/gallery/73612.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 10 Christy's Fireplace 10](/gallery/73613.gif)
Below we now added the Durock at the fireplace opening. This is key to the whole project. Math is very important when doing these layouts!

![Christy's Fireplace 12 Christy's Fireplace 12](/gallery/73615.gif)

![Christy's Fireplace 15 Christy's Fireplace 15](/gallery/73618.gif)
Below you can see the slate is being added.
![Christy's Fireplace 16 Christy's Fireplace 16](/gallery/73619.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 17 Christy's Fireplace 17](/gallery/73620.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 18 Christy's Fireplace 18](/gallery/73621.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 19 Christy's Fireplace 19](/gallery/73622.gif)
Above and below the fireplace is 90% finished. The mantle needs to be installed and the door on the right to conceal the components needs to be installed as well. The inside of the fireplace will have 3 pieces of black galaxy granite installed. We will post these pictures of the fireplace when it is completely finished as well.
![Christy's Fireplace 20 Christy's Fireplace 20](/gallery/73623.gif)
Now for the glass installation. We started with a satin black paint on the back walls, until we install the granite. Then we bulked up the base with 2" of white sand as this will save you a bunch of money! We used sand because we were pouring Starfire Base Glass in the fireplace. If we were to use a darker color of glass we would of used our crushed lava rock as a filler. When using sand, always make sure the burner is on top of the sand.
![Christy's Fireplace 21 Christy's Fireplace 21](/gallery/73624.gif)
Test the burner/ location making sure the flames don't hit the walls.
![Christy's Fireplace 22 Christy's Fireplace 22](/gallery/73625.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 23 Christy's Fireplace 23](/gallery/73626.gif)
Then pour the glass!
![Christy's Fireplace 24 Christy's Fireplace 24](/gallery/73627.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 25 Christy's Fireplace 25](/gallery/73628.gif)
We added a few Pink Diamonds and then later added Ice Ice Ice Toppers and Clear Diamonds. These products because of the way they are made appear to be melting on the inside.
![Christy's Fireplace 26 Christy's Fireplace 26](/gallery/73629.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 27 Christy's Fireplace 27](/gallery/73630.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 28 Christy's Fireplace 28](/gallery/73631.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 29 Christy's Fireplace 29](/gallery/73632.gif)
The sealer that was used was a stone enhancer, not just a regular cheap sealer. When using rock you always want to see the beauty of the stone you are using.
![Christy's Fireplace 30 Christy's Fireplace 30](/gallery/73633.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 31 Christy's Fireplace 31](/gallery/73634.gif)
![Christy's Fireplace 32 Christy's Fireplace 32](/gallery/73635.gif)
As you can see the mantle is still missing. We have a few more details to still do and as soon as we have time to post the pictures, they will be here.
We encourage imagination to all of our customers and we support you and your projects. Regardless how simple or how creative. This is one of the elements that spawned our success and continues to do so.
Kentucky Fireplace Remodel
The next fireplace was built by Dave Luerman in Kentucky and you will now see his before and after also using a base of Starfire Base Glass.
Below you can see where it all began. Dave is one very creative customer.
![Luerman 1 Luerman 1](/gallery/74874/Luerman_1.gif)
The fireplace that was replaced was very nice but just met the needs of Dave.
![Luerman 2 Luerman 2](/gallery/74875/Luerman_2.gif)
Out with the old and lets frame up the new.

The fire pit below was built and designed by Brett Parks in Indiana. Brett came to us to help hm create his water fire feature for his back yard and be able to winterize it during their frigid winters. The glass he used was a:
We then built a custom shape stainless steel burner to fit his idea. We will explain as we go.
Here is his original concept drawing:
Below is his layout with pavers, electrical and gas line coming up.
6" deep water tank.
Stack a few more pavers.
Let's test it!
A custom size and configuration ring was fabricated.
Now you're done!
