Last week was another hard one, made worse by the fact I broke my toe! I just limped a bit - it was only my little one thankfully!
It was finally time to tackle the fireplace!
A little bit of me has always hated this old open fireplace. We used to hide it with an old bookcase I made my wife for Christmas years ago.
Trouble was it was built with the same iron hard bricks and mortar as the rest of the house - not easy to take down I can tell you!
