Hi all, Thanks a lot for all the help over the past month, been asking tons of questions and got lots of great help. I've done a reasonable amount of DIY but most of this task was new to me. List of jobs included; Build stud wall and fireplace alcove Include TV recess and mounting points Board and Plaster new part of wall Tile hearth and brickslip alcove Picture rail, chair rail, coving and wall panel instals Build alcove units Build floating shelves Re-size and adjust fireplace surround to suit room size (bought off FB marketplace and was massive! Paint the whole lot by hand (poxy wall panels!) I will stick some pics up from start to finish
