[quote][i]Originally posted by deano87[/i] Staged pictures from the fireplace. Taking out the remainder of the hearth. Most come up with lump hammer and chisel. Handy your dad has his own breaker :lol: [img=380x512]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-03%2011.33.52.jpg[/img] After the tiles come off this is what you're left with. Nice hole over the original arch for smoke to escape if the chimney doesn't draw properly. And judging by the black brickwork, smoke has escaped. [img=380x672]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-03%2012.27.02.jpg[/img] About to take the fire back out. Was back filled with all sorts. [img=380x672]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-03%2012.36.43.jpg[/img] All out. [img=488x648]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-03%2014.13.17.jpg[/img] Decided to expose the arch and have exposed brickwork with no mantle piece. [img=380x512]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-03%2021.02.47.jpg[/img] Me knocking out mortar joints ready for re-pointing. All ready covered. T-shirt was white :lol: [img=380x672]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-04%2012.24.08.jpg[/img] Protected as best I could from falling soot. [img=380x672]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-04%2012.49.39.jpg[/img] Joints knocked out. [img=460x816]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-04%2018.46.20.jpg[/img] Today's task was to scrub it and clean it. Brickwork pretty stained from the smoke but I like that! [img=460x816]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73273394/2014-06-05%2018.30.37.jpg[/img] Re-pointing and new hearth Saturday. Plus prep for making good the plasterboard to complete the following weekend before wood flooring going down. [/quote]
