We are finally getting a wood burner put into the lounge (hurray!) and have had the chimney sweep out this morning to remove the gas liner in the chimney.
We are now left with a hole to clear, and a marble surround that needs to go. The white wooden surround needs to go as well. DP is going to do this to save money, and then the sweep will come back to install the stove once we've picked one.
What's the best way to go about getting rid of the marble? Just chisel it away? How is the wooden surround likely to be held on? And what about the marble bit on the floor, what is likely to be under that?
And also, while I'm here, I'm happy to hear suggestions on how to surround the new stove once it's in - we'll be doing that ourselves too probably.
