While the wife's away

[widler]

so , while the wife is away , erm looking at the sites of Lisbon , Ive had to get this ready for the wood burner .
I was going to get porcelain slips , but they were a fortune, even at trade from my mate .
So I went for slate slips from Mrs stone, Ive bought of the shop before so I know the quality is ok , and for £15m2 you can't go wrong.i got some sealer from a local shop I use now and again, to put it nicely it was a bag of poo ,
I got 2 pieces of slate for the hearth and cut myself .
Still got a bit of cleaning and polishing but I think it's come out well

Where does the chimney go to?

 

[jimthetiler]

nice job but I would carry that stove pipe up a bit more.

Cheers chaps, im thinking maybe i should maybe make the chimney go outside, thing kept setting the smoke alarm off last night

And you can't even blame the wife's cooking for that.

Looks great though Craig, but get that chimney up to the roof level
