Last month we had our old fire/fireplace demolished to be replaced by a more modern and far more efficient one. We won't be testing it until September/October but we are very happy with the new look!
 |
| The original fireplace the day we moved in |
 |
| We decided to prepare the living room for decorating before all the mess. A special undercoat had to be applied on the ceiling cladding. |
 |
| A single worker did the entire job, including erecting a protective polythene screen which worked really well to minimise dust in the house. |
 |
| The new version is a closed fireplace (un insert) which you CAN have open but it controls the heat more efficiently. |
 |
| Finished, room still to decorate! |
 |
| Et voilà, morning sun reflecting on the chimney (and room decorated). |
 |
| There are also two vents in the hall/corridor to the East Wing which should help to warm the house over winter - fingers crossed! |
