I suggest we get the repairs done immediately and leave the tile for later. Can you find out if he can finish before next weekend whatever needs to be done to have a fire safely? I've been planning a trip with two friends of mine from school for a long time and it would really be a bummer to have to cancel it. Thanks for working on this. Also, about the $$, mom should have put aside $10,000 from grandpa ($5,000 from me and Cameron each) that was supposed to go for replacing the roof. This is much more important, so I suggest using that money. Finally, we can get Jeff's friend Karen to help us with the tiles. We will talk to her.

There should be no combustible material <there, and sooner or later a fire will result. You are fortunate the result <was not worse. The important metal underlayment supplied with the fireplace <was not installed. The fireplace must be moved about 5" up to the face of <the wall. All the tile must be removed and replaced with non combustible <underlayment. The chimney seems ok but you must replace the cap and the <chimney is no longer available, necessitating fireplace replacement if it <ever becomes necessary due to corrosion. The insulation is probably wet, <which happens over the years and it settles, leaving hot spots in the <chimney. At least yours is out in the air, but it should be checked, and <will be if I do this job. <You will provide the tile, and bear in mind that some will have to be cut, <so avoid small tiles. You will also provide sanded grout and grout <additive, and a mastic (25#) such as epoxy "Elastobon". Your tile supplier <will know what we're talking about. I will get all other materials locally. <You are looking at, I estimate, $2,400.00 - $3,200.00 plus materials. I <prefer to work jobs like this at Time and Materials, based on my labor rate <of $50.00 per man hour. If I have to bid this job, it will be suitably <inflated to deal with unforeseen variables. I have been here for 26 years <without any construction related problems, and have lots of references. <The materials will consist of cedar shingles, plywood, roofing shingles <(asphalt), glue, Wonder Board tile underlayment, stainless steel cap, 2X4's, <screws, plumbing fittings for the gas line, sheet metal, and incidentals. <My estimate is done as accurately as possible, but unforeseen problems could <change the time I've estimated for the job. The materials will be about <$700.00, and this is the deposit I will require. Let me know what the ETA <of your tile will be. If you prefer, I can do the job without the tile, <leaving the Wonder Board tile underlayment exposed, which is totally safe, <and you can decide upon tile later, after looking at the site after the <fireplace is moved. I will need a half square min. to do the roof of the <fireplace pop out. <Regards, <Will Guyan
