  3. ______ Distance from the center of the firebox to the nearest obstruction on the left that would limit the width of the surround shelf (i.e. window, wall, light switch, etc.)
  4. ______ Distance from the center of the fire box to the nearest obstruction on the right that would limit the width of the surround shelf (i.e. window, wall, light switch, etc.)
