I'm in the process of rebuilding my fireplace and upon removing the old brick facade, I discovered an outlet next to the opening, where my stone will go.
I want to apply my stone directly to the existing brick, but the wire is in the way. I can eliminate the outlet, but that doesn't get the wire out of the way.
Anyone have any ideas?
