Fireplace facing
I have a standard brick fireplace that is about 15 years old. I would like to remove the mantel and the top three courses of bricks to effectively lower the overall height of the fireplace front by about 6". Right now the height is about 6'.
I just don't know what is behind the bricks. I assume that the front is more decorative than structural, and I am hoping that there is some type of sheetrock/mortar board behind it. What esle could be back there??
