I think if it sat above the feet it might be but the heat doesn&#39;t radiate down very much. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/exposed-brick-walls#post-1117665 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:37:52 +0000 sharkbait 1117665@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Doh..... double post........ as you were </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/exposed-brick-walls#post-1117594 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:23:58 +0000 sharkbait 1117594@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Actually MF do you always keep the log basket next to the stove?

Make sure you specify a matt or satin one or it will look very shiny like the pic above.<br /> Have you exposed the brick already? A new build house is more likely to have an inner wall of concrete block, if any inner block(some timber frames) or a very low spec clay at least. A low spec clay could either be very plain - which will look rubbish or it will be quite random which is usually much nicer (within reason).<br /> The odd bit of Contrete &#39;Snot&#39; can be good. and don&#39;t make the pointing <em>too</em> good. </p>
