Hi All, Recently I had the perimeter of my house dug out and replaced with gravel and drainage pipe, Afterwards I tore down the basement walls to cinderblock to check for mold / rotted wood, mouse damage? you name it! I am now ready to rebuild my walls. My question is?. I have a Quadra fire wood stove in a downstairs corner, and I am considering a nonflammable wall product for around the stove area instead of drywall and heat shields? Can I use brick or stone directly on the cinderblock? What is the best way to attach it to the existing cinderblock wall? Do I need to put anything on the cement slab floor under the brick / stone? Are there products you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share...., John
