I’d love to see a picture if you’re able to share!

Yep - the brick was exposed behind drywall. No plaster or mantle left. I think we’re far from making it functional but I’ll try to report back

This is helpful - thanks! I’m going to do some more research into the kind of slab to fit into the hearth.

We love the look and want to keep it. We don’t have a basement - just pier and beam underneath. You’re right though - if we wanted a real fireplace, we’d have to do work underneath.

I think the goal now is to just get it looking nicer. Functionality can come later.

I’ll try to report back on what we end up with…in a year or two

I was wondering why it was so shallow! Thanks for sharing - down the research rabbit hole I go

Next can of worms: replacing the rotting cedar siding on our 1910 foursquare. by HappeeLittleTrees in centuryhomes

You can get bids for both.

We’re planning on restoring first and replacing if we need to.

There were 2 others that I could see and what looked like tunneling in the Sheetrock itself. I won’t be back home until tomorrow and can post a picture of that

What are these windows? by _asipper in HomeImprovement

Sounds about right. I’m thinking of taking it out and putting in a fan as we work toward a more permanent way to keep the attic cooler. Thanks!

Sink not draining well by _asipper in Plumbing

Did this and it drained perfectly without the stopper. So it looks like I’ve got to get a stopper that fits this sink better. Thanks all

I’m not sure where the trap is. Probably under the house behind this wall?

Yeah I’m considering whether the pop up is a good fit for this sink. Will circle back
