Dry stack fireplace

14 years ago

We are building a lake house and had a dry stacked fireplace put in. We don't think it is done properly. I have a few pictures and would like some opinions on whether it is a professional job. I am not sure how to post the pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
