Removing Mantel from Fireplace
13 years ago
Hello,
I would like to remove a wood mantel from a fireplace. Dose anyone have any advice for how to do this and what surprises to expect? The house was built in 1983. The fireplace is solid brick.
The mantel is original, I suppose. I am not certain how it is connected to the brick, but it feels fairly sturdy.
Thoughts? And, thanks!
Mike
