Fire in fireplace and I am still cold. Why?

 

Work Study on a Fireplace
Out side chimmey note vent. From the outside, the construction looked excellent. Note the vent on top.

This is the problem.  What will we find under the facing.

look ma no insulationsAfter removing the old face, what we found was quite an eye opener.    No insulation had ever been installed! It was like the house had never been completely closed up. The fireplace was not inside the envelope of the house. No wonder they were always cold! Imagine the fuel expense because of this mistake.
 

 

Come back soon and see the completion of the project and find out why they were so cold!
