Hello. I will be lining a disused fireplace with plywood, drilling the bricks and screwing the ply to them. Do I need to do anything to prevent problems at this interface? For example, treating the back of the ply? Putting a plastic membrane between the brick and the wood?
Or will it be ok to just screw it straight on, to what is sort of an "outside" wall?
The chimney is open to the sky may take some rain now and then, though I've never seen any moisture at the bottom even during heavy rain.
Thanks very much
