Before I could truly get to work on the parlor floor, I needed to finish up the parlor fireplace. In order to know where to start the firebox, I had to make the hearth. I cut a piece of cardboard a little thicker than the parlor floor marquetry border. More on that later. 
Next up was building the firebox using my standard method. The firebox sits partially inside the chimney through a hole in the side wall. This will be finished with egg carton brick.
I'm using a Phoenix Models firegrate and resin coal fire, so the box didn't need to be very deep. The resin coal wire will exit out the back. I might end up installing a flickering unit for the fireplace, so I'll determine the final wiring pattern later.
