CONCRETE HEARTH

Hearth is concrete colored with Cheng's Charcoal mix.  Seven concrete panels cover the framed hearth.  Several transmission gears were placed on the surface areas.  Along the seam to the left of the fireplace, a transmission valve body was cut in half, and each half placed along the seam in the concrete.  Unfortunately, one of the valve body pieces lifted off the bottom of the form and does not show up in the polished concrete.  You can see the ghost image of the valve body in the 4th pic below.  Bummer.  I think it looks OK, but wifey does not... so, possibly more work ahead.  The fireplace opening is now surrounded by just drywall, but we are planning on adding a surround made of plate steel.
