Again Andy wasn’t there today, this is such a drag, although it did allow me time to correct another issue that had been troubling me.
In the old days when they built houses there wasn’t the precision that there is today, they were built sort-of square. When the builders added the steels in the old kitchen fireplace they aligned them with the existing wall. When I checked this against the main wall there was a discrepancy of nearly two inches. Normally, that would be categorised as the character of the place, but not what I would put up with.
With a plank of wood and an electric saw, I managed to cut two long wedges, and keep my fingers, hurray!
