    Why, that's almost spam.

    Agree, I've reported it.
    First time post on an old topic bigging up HETAS suggests an agenda.

    Need some help please.

    This is the current state of our 'Coalbrookedale log burner (given to us by my OH's best mate at zero cost :j).
    I have a friend that has some black polish to pretty it up, but any suggestions with the brickwork.

    On our last inglenook I used the terracotta tiles that look like bricks, but don't really want that colour this time.

    Is plastering the only option? Any other ideas that don't cost the earth?

    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    All I can say is you've got a generous friend. That's a Little Wenlock, a fabulous little cast iron stove, made in the mill next door to the very one in which cast iron was invented!

    Why not install 'slips', to act like nice clean brickwork? Many different styles available and could look good
