Project 2 – Alterations and Installation to Large Fireplace & Refurb.

This big old fireplace had an old stove (pictured) sitting off centre on a raised stone slab.This picture shows the old stonework and stove removed. The chimney was blocked with birds nests because there was no terminal fitted and as can be seen from the second picture the register plate was fitted to a Wooden frame. ! A very real fire hazard.
