Got a big hole in your wall?

If you’ve got an old wall furnace and have decided to get rid of it, you’re left with a big hole! Time to repair.

Depending on the material of the wall, you may need to do a bit of surgery. A framework would have to be installed so that you can fix in a new panel, generally a plaster sheet cut to fit. Once that’s done, there’s a lot sanding and filling to get the surface smooth again. Remember…this is messy, so keep a vacuum cleaner handy. You also may have two holes. One at the rear and this will need to be repaired as well.

Once you’ve done all that, the ugly heater is gone and you’re ready for paint!
