as its an old greenhouse and the space isnt used effectively I take part of it down and replace by a boiler room anyway.A bit more work but might give me a boot/drying room in the process.

I'd considered that but it's in a bedroom in an extension with a very shallow roof so there might not be that much room. Fitting in the main loft might be an option though which wont be that much extra distance

posting here as the hearth is stuck to the floor! Ive managed to remove a slate hearth but it left behind a thick layer of concrete with which it had been stuck down with. I managed to lever up the edge of it with a spade which got rid of the first bit but the rest is proving a bit more...

Ive just knocked out an old fireplace and want to quickly cover it over. Im back to the brick around where it was and was thinking of cutting a piece if plywood to fix over the whole thing (screwing it to the wall) Is it possible to then apply a thin amount of ready mixed plaster over this to...
