For realz, yo.

It looks like the pressure is off of me for that SNAFU from a week or two ago. We fixed the big issues and I am not quite skilled enough to resolve some of the finer stuff so I think I am out of the game for the time being.

And back to my usual slacking.

But this is a 200% markup to save you from a little math and pulling the stones off the shelf. Okay... Math IS hard and I might break a sweat getting the stones to the register. But I can't see myself paying $400 to avoid that.

I don't know why but my mind is totally blown by this. Maybe it shouldn't be?
No, no.. It costs that much for the plans and some bolts. You still have to arrange for the lumber. Whether you are cutting and finishing yourself or having the lumberyard do the prep.

For example.



$199 for this. You get what you see in the picture. Want a slide? That will DOUBLE the price.

I think I missed this. Anything I can provide some insight to or give some Linuxy direction?

Yes, they are in the business of getting the most money out of your pockets. Stones are big scary things, lets let the HD do the cutting for you! (even though there is not cutting--its just the fear of the non-existent cutting.

BTW, those top corner stones look ripe for falling off. Is it loose stacked or do you glue it together?

No worries - it was discretely mentioned. I don't think so - all Windows and Database/ETL issues.

I agree and I will probably glue. They don't state in the instructions to use glue but it was recommended in the reviews and I thought I would especially since I am leaving out the insert - although I am not so sure it would hold much anyways. I also thought about leaving out one of the mini's at the bottom middle on each side. Maybe take the other one and lay it flat. The idea would be to provide for some airflow to make the fire more efficient.
