	The Fire Place up close and personal. We were promised that the mantlepiece would be replaced before the sale. We went ahead regardless.

	Some studs and a few plates of Plasterboard later it looks like this.

	The first of many sockets that had to be chased out with Hammer and Chisel.
	Our semi sold floor panels

	Maarten put the sofa frame together in no time and I sewed up a few old curtains to make this smashing piece.
