We are in the process of moving in to our new home and the living room has a bricked up chimney breast in it.
We have a 9mth old baby and would like to maximize floor space - so an idea we had was to put a "hole-in-wall" fire in, with a cut out above that for sky box/dvd player, then above that another hole for the tv...
would it be a case of stripping the chimney breast and moving the original lintel to above where the tv would be? would I only need the one?
just to clarify, I wont be carrying the work out myself, I'd employ a builder for the job, just curious to know what is involved...
Thanks
