Hi I am self employeed and had a question. I wanted to build for myself but trying to avoid red tape from the county and also trying to save money on potential plans that I might have to buy. Anybody know about the feasability reports? Looking to do a Temp foundation and my own Piping and so...

I have a client that is looking to close off the damper and make the flue weather proof put wants to leave the firebox open to place flowers or candels in. Is this possiple? If so what is the best method?
