Oh my what a weekend!
He told me to remove the old lime grout with a chisel,i think? you know when your not really listening? anyhow with a chisel i was getting scratched and knocked so i went out to the garage and found this old hand fork which worked perfectly and no scratching and bumping,he laughed and i smiled sweetly.....
Then i had to clean up and re-point the whole wall.....
We lined the chimney.....i had to pull it down inside...
While he pushed it down the chimney he re-built the week before outside.....
When in place he built the chimney and popped a pot on,i love the little ledge he built it looks really sweet and adds a bit of character.....
Woohoo i finished my wall and we had to decide how big we wanted the hearth....."wall to wall please" i said.....
For this curvy baby to sit on.....
Then we chose which tiles we would use for the hearth...we have more than we needed but they were on offer for £60 so we bought the whole pile.....
Love all the little holes they look so time worn almost like the tide has washed over them......
Oh did i mention it was freezing cold and we have no heating?He told me to remove the old lime grout with a chisel,i think? you know when your not really listening? anyhow with a chisel i was getting scratched and knocked so i went out to the garage and found this old hand fork which worked perfectly and no scratching and bumping,he laughed and i smiled sweetly.....
Love Kristina XxX

It's going to be beautiful!!!! Do you have electricity? If you do, it really is worth it to invest in an electric tiny fireplace heater or space heater. Do you have those cute lil electric fireplaces that can be moved from room to room? We have them here at our hardware stores...you can get one for $100. We have two in our home and move them from room to room. They provide good heat and are so cute!
Looks like you've been extra busy! Fireplace looks goorrrrgeous! xxx
Hi Kristina.I shivered to hear that you had no heating, but by the looks of things it wont be long til you do :o) It's coming along really nicely, your cottage. Please keep posting on its progress. have a good weekend.
