Our house has the flue

We've been waiting, waiting, waiting to see our yummy double-sided fireplace perched in it's cantilever wall.  It's been a bit of a saga.  First, the wrong fireplace was delivered. Then, when the right one came, it was a new model that was slightly larger. Our SS solved the problem by altering the frame, BUT, it looks as though the wall has been made incorrectly, and there now isn't sufficient clearance inside the cavity for the flue to operate safely.

So this week the most part of the wall has to come down and be rebuilt around the fireplace, re-plastered, re-painted.  It's just not going to get done by Thursday...so...we're just going to have to wait an extra week before getting our hands on those keys.

It's been a dream build, so if this is the worst that happens to us we're pretty lucky. By the time its re-built, it should look more like the display version...

Compared to our wall which looks like this...

Carlisle have been fantastic in trying to find a suitable solution.  We've even had the Construction Manager on the phone explaining the situation and apologising profusely, and promising to pull trades from other jobs to meet our revised hand over date.  Sorry if we're stealing your guys!!!
