Removing the wallpaper in the living room revealed the outline of the original fire place so we decided in rather a sporadic moment (3 min discussion!) to see what was behind it! The boys cracked on and within a few minutes the plaster was off to reveal a hole filled with breeze blocks and rubble. No dead pigeons thankfully!! |
After a bit more bashing (I joined in here too!) we cleared the hole and stood back to assess the situation and the mess!! Can't wait to get this horrible red carpet up - literally being held together with dust! At some point in the future we hope to put a wood burner in, for now though we will get a chimney sweep in to give it a good clean out and check the drawer. We both grew up with fires and can't wait to have our very own warming our house!
