    Interesting to see what beautiful brickwork was hiding behind this lot. Nice job and good advice for the DIYers. Coincidentally the Welderfabber channel guy visited the William Moore & Son tool store up north close to you lads. The Milwaukee section and choice was massive. I might try some of this kit. Thanks for the content this year and let's hope 2024 is good and you get that hip job done. Every time I see you suffering it reminds what a sad state of affairs our NHS is in. Stay positive and good luck.

    I think you should change the last part of the title to, chimney breast alteration for a cooker. You’ll get more non subscribers who’ll search RUclips for the topic. I’ve seen soo many after images with the cooker in the chimney breast. I don’t think the vast majority of the population realise that it’s not a DIY job. Thanks for educating me 😊

    Well that was more complex than appeared at the outset. Many a DIY'er would have looked at the job when the wife said "let's open the chimney breast" and replied, no problem I'll have it done in no time. My guess is that most would have freaked out and done a bodge and cover up. It's a good job you know what you are doing. Best wishes for your hip job and don't even think about going back to work until they say you can.

    Really interesting to see the amount of ‘hidden’ brickwork that constitutes a chimney breast. Had the customer wanted the entire chimney brickwork ( up to ceiling height) removed in that GROUND floor only what would be the principles of securing the brickwork in the rooms above? Would the joists have to be modified and strengthened? Many thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge!

    • @jeffbourne6015
      @jeffbourne6015 8 месяцев назад +1

      Most grateful for the reply Steve & Alex. I anticipated your response. We have a double chimney breast (back to back ) in adjoining rooms. A number of years ago, a bricklayer friend performed exactly the procedure you carried out in the video in one of the rooms. Presumably, the same strategy could be used in the neighbouring room given the sides of the breast there remain as originally constructed. We’ve often contemplated the complete removal of both chimney breasts which would free up a lot of space but as you quite rightly pointed out consulting a structural engineer would be a necessity. Thanks again!!!
