gas fire and 50" tv

[buckley plumb]

had to disconnect a fire today the customer was not happy - they had hung their prize new tv above the fire drilling and fixing the bracket to hold it with 4" screws the problem being it was a precast flue block flue the drill holes went straight through into the flue - bits of the blocks at bottom of the fire opening lol

classic, I had one a while back where the custard drilled into the gas pipe feeding the fire. Keeps us in work hey

Maybe they can just watch a fire on the new 50 incher.
I got called to a fire today as well. Inset, that was makingstrange noises???
Turned up to discover that behind the fire was not one, buttwo squirrels!!!!!!!
Luckily I had a thick pair of gloves to grab the littlecritters and put them in the garden.
Felt good I had performed a rodent rescue, only to see thesmaller squirrel get attacked in the garden by the house cat!!!! Frying pan –fire came to mind!!!!!
Made me smile for the rest of the day anyway.

I like telling custards to read their 50" installation manuals ref installing their pride and joy over working fire places, apparently it can b****** them up with heat and condensation

Mine has holes in too. 4 inch screws straight through the Pre cast block from the previous owners.
A common issue now with so many being built this way.I always keep a eye out for it.

I didnt release, I was feeding the cat!!!

Indeed,it seems to be a common thing to hang the telly over the fireplace but it sounds like bad news to me. As you say the heat wont do it any good and it isnt at optimal viewing height so stiff neck !

Well now they have recked the pre-cast flue at least the tele will now survive, at least for a while.
