The West Wing

Well, things are moving on now as work spreads further throughout the house, her Ladyship would appear to be in the mood for stripping! one of the rear bedrooms has been stripped bare ready for re-plastering and she has swiftly moved on into the West Wing bedroom and stripped again!!
Also in this bedroom is a beautiful ornate original fireplace, as nice as it is, the fireplace and surround will have to be removed for the room to be updated. we found the marble surround quite easy to remove once we had worked out it was made up in sections and bonded together, we have plans to possibly re-locate this piece to the living room.

Work has started on the fire hearth and proved quite a battle to remove, the Victorians certainly knew how to secure things into brickwork, I`m talking about metal hooks and plates into brickwork that need serious powertools and heavy duty wrecking bars to release, you also need some good strong help for this task! 

couldn`t do it withou you
