The flaming hole has been cut

The fireplace is scheduled to be fitted on 17 October and the sleeve for the flue has already been installed. It’s amazing what you can achieve in a short period of time when you’re running a small part of the project yourself. Now all we need is the gas fitter to turn up on the 17th to connect the fire. I’m confident the fireplace guys will turn up as agreed and do a good job but the big question is how many times we need to chase the main contractor to ensure he doesn’t let us down on the day.
