Help please,
I pulled up the marble surround and hearth extension and found a mess.
The base was/ is filled with bricks and mortar, all crumbling and .... a mess.
House was built in the 1980s, the fireplace is gas logs, husband doesn't want an insert![Down :( :(](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/downer.gif)
I want to somehow refill/ level the extension area off and put a slate slab down.
Any help on how to achieve this is most welcome and thank you.
