Ok all you masons and carpenders---
I have a fireplace in need of updating. This is what my wife and i would like to do and we need SMC's help on the how...
We like to remove the railroad tie mantel and replace it with a new mantel piece...how is the mantel attached and how do I get it off??
Next I like to remove the brick that protrudes off the the face of the fireplace. we are thinking of adding slate to the surface of the brick and therefore need a surface without these protrusions.
ANY THOUGHTS???
