When we first moved into our house, this fireplace had a HUGE, HEAVY metal fireplace insert. Me not liking fire (yes, I know, I'm a scaredy cat) wasn't gonna be using it for a fire, and with it being so big and bulky, we decided to get it outa there.
When I say "we", I mean me!
So we got to work...
The insert had to be taken out by 4 men.. It was extremly heavy.. I was worried that the rock (the fake stuff) wouldn't support its weight entirely while moving it out. While the rock isn't my favorite thing, I don't want to tackle that monster of a project (just yet)
(sorry no photos of that process)
After all the heavy lifting was done, we was left with a stainless steel "fireplace"
(please just look past the mess)
He had to remove the metal "thing" that was inside but It didn't want to budge!(don't ya just love my terms for things)
So out came this saw. It did alot of the work, but we still had to heave and ho to get it out!
It was quite a bit of work!
He didn't like that part very much!
Then up when the ply wood and the bead board!
(starting to look rather nice)
(its almost finished)
(its almost finished)
We finished off the "edges" with some molding and decorative squares!
I'll finish the Fireplace Overhaul tommorrow, with all the finishing details and decorations:)
