We are happy to put an oven in the existing fireplace, but it is too low to cook comfortably at. The solution (we think) is to remove one or two rows of bricks and replace the lintel to support it. Question is - take the paint off, find the mortar, chip away at this and remove the bricks one at a time, or take a big saw with a masonry disc on it and cut to size? Sorry - not sure how to attach photos to this site. Kathy Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room. We have a large N/W facing window and are wanting to have a wood slow… 0 13731 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11589 I would probably render it and then paint it as per your other advice, or gyrpock over the top. 1 3344 |
