Stone fireplace, tin liner needs repair

Mirror Lake's BB · 08-20-2008, 11:37 PM

We have a beautiful 60 year old stone fireplace with a tin liner that is pulling away from the stone. We have tried to do some minor work ourselves but it really needs some attention from someone with experience with this type of fireplace. The damper was removed (or did it fall off?) about 10 or more years ago by the former owner and sits in the attic. The brick chimney also needs to be repaired or replaced. We are on Mirror Lake in Tuftonboro. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
