Happy Good Friday
After drooling over many False Chimney's on these forum's I have finally started working on mine.
I am going to have a carpenter build the False Chimney but I am going to prepare the chimney.
The chimney did have a Gas Fire, which has been capped. I then set to work removing the decorative brick work in the opening ready to be boxed to house the AV equipment.
Here is a picture as I had just set to work, the gas fire is still in place and I have just started taking the front row of decorative bricks.
I then continued to remove the decorative bricks curved around and down.
I am now concerned that I may have removed too many bricks? Please could I get your advice.
Ideally, I wanted to removed the remaining bricks at the bottom to form a square opening, but as you can see the front bricks exposed are length ways with half exposed and half in.
Thanks in advance
