What reading level is Making a Fireplace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a house which breaks away from the historic architectural styles, asso many of the stucco buildings of the day do, the mantel treatmentoffers particularly interesting possibilities. Frequently the mantel isdone away with entirely and the chimney breast treated independently asa whole. With the very informal type of summer home where a rough stone forfacing and chimney is employed, the mantel treatment can hardly be kepttoo simple and unobtrusive in its rugged strength. A heavy log, planedto ...a smooth top surface and resting on two projecting stone brackets, is frequently used with good effect. The chimney breast may be steppedback at the shelf height to form a narrow stone ledge, or the breastleft without any shelf. Many simple variations with the informal brickchimney breast will occur to everyone. In general, with these summershacks or bungalows, the fireplace is the chief architectural feature ofthe living-room and for that reason will stand a moderate amount ofembellishment, but this latter should take the form of a slightly betterfinish of the materials used throughout the room rather than theintroduction of more elaborate and costly ones.
