Another question here — I have a fireplace in the back of the house that was long since plastered over, and we’d like to consider exposing the brick and putting our own mantle on it. Is this as simple as it seems? I suspect I’ll need someone to do some brick work to repair the morter underneath. Has anyone done this? Have any idea of cost/time? It doesn’t seem too difficult, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance..
