I am having it inspected on Monday by the local building inspector. So I left the screws out in case he wanted me to pull the pipe. I will add 3 screws to each joint after he looks it over.

I didn't want to screw it all together and them have him want to poke around.
Great looking install. Is that ceramic tile you used around the stove?
These are actually porcelain floor tiles. They are a little tougher to cut than ceramic wall tiles, but I got the look I wanted.

Thanks everyone, for your kind words.

Now I got to make a speed run up & back to Knox County Maine for a wake Sunday. Just a tad south of you Freddy.

Wished I had more time, but will be driving 5 hrs each way, so going to be a long day.
