The fireplace here on the farm was apparently seldom used. Why else would they build a hearth out of wood? Not exactly fire-safe! We aren’t sure what changes our daughter and son-in-law will make here — maybe a real stone hearth? Or a simple fix would be to cover the top with ceramic tile.
Too bad it’s not safe to use at the moment — we would need to have the chimney inspected by a chimney sweep. A fire would be lovely for when everyone meets here for Thanksgiving.
