I'm brand new to this forum and have my first question. I have a cinder block fireplace and chimney that makes up a full wall in our living room. The cinder block wall/chimney is covered with a single layer of full-size brick. I'd like to remove the brick and replace it with something smoother, possibly drywall. Since this is above ground, will I still need to use furring strips to attach the drywall with 3/4 inch foam insulation between? Will I need some spacing of a fireproof material surrounding the fireplace for a specified distance, or can I drywall right up to it?
