The Best Laid Plans

We've had a bit of an incident. First I'll show you the good part. We finally got the new tiles into the cast iron insert. It was a bit of a challenge as the screws holding the old tiles in had corroded quite badly.

The new tiles look fab don't they?

BUT not 10 seconds after I'd taken this picture, a tile broke whilst we were trying to secure them.

Poop! Boo Hoo! The only solution was to hot-foot it over to Harrogate and buy two more of the cream spacer tiles from Fired Earth. It was a huffy drive over let me tell you!

The final fireplace won't be quite as fab, but needs must. I'll update again when it's finally fitted!
