DIY : Cast Iron Fireplaces and Radiators

At the moment I am in the process of a bit of DIY in particular the living room

One of the biggest things to tackle is the Fireplace, as I truly do think it is the heart of the home.

Fortunately for us we did have a rather beautiful old fireplace dying to be restore underneath the diabolical 1940’s electric effort that was there when we bought the house.

We had considered was it worth the effort don’t get me wrong there was no way the electric one was staying – but lets face it not all of us process the DIY touch. But no! we decide to go the whole hog and restore what was there. We managed to find a cast iron fireplace surround that would have been similar to what was there to begin with and get Cast Iron Radiators to match to really set it all of to a tee. God it was so worth the effort it looks stunning, even if I am bias.

It is hard knowing where to start but what with doing my home up I can say that DIY is a hobby I enjoy you do get carried away. The please of doing it yourself and even if you save only 2 p its the fact that you did it and can do it

I know real fires are work, what with all the sweeping of the chimney, keeping it clean, hunting and gathering on wood and for the best offers coal but when you come in and the welcoming glow of the fire is waiting for you, there is nothing like it. The extra money and elbow grease is worth it.
