Fireplace opened

After the two new damp areas (door lining and corner in the lounge, we decided to have a look at the area that had been blocked up when the old boiler had been taken out. It's not bad, a smooth render lines it, which is being touched up before being plastered inside to create a decorative area. Rosie has some spare thick Terracotta tiles which he's going to use for the floor, allowing a continuous line height for the skirting board, for now, until I decide what to do with it.

The only shame is that it's not central!
