Lorraine and I have been talking about a Belfast brick fireplace and wood burning stove for a long time now. Our two friends Derick and Jeannette got to hear about it and offered us some bricks, and a grate they had left over from their fireplace. Now I had no excuse for not getting started. I had a few days holidays to take so I got stuck in to ripping out the old 1970's fireplace and back boiler. Of course the pipe to the back boiler got punctured but that is a story on its own.
We always knew that our friend Jim would be building it for us and true to form Jim and Laraine agreed and came down and spent the weekend helping us out, big time!! The room is almost decorated now and should be finished for Christmas. Hopefully in the new year we will get the stove to finish our long time ambition.
