Fireplace #2

This "interesting" fireplace was part of the original "charm" of the house-YEAH RIGHT! What were they thinking? On the opposite wall there is a beautiful wood mantle and brick surround. Why did they need this?? Plaster of paris, gretian goodess and all...
The third day we were "fixing the house" my dad and I took a hammer to this "beauty" and attempted to remove it. It was HEAVY, but we did a pretty good job of getting rid of it.
After it was all gone, the wall looked like this... no one claims that giant hole. For eight months, this giant hole and all the baby holes sat there reminding me of the godnesses and the fake fireplace.
Two months ago, Dave filled in the little holes, but the big one remained.
Prepaing to paint the room, let Dave to fill the hole (drywall and layers of plaster). It is SO exciting...
Hopefully, we will have texture tomorrow and paint on Saturday.
