I'm trying to bake a casserole.
you may eliminate the wallboard above the hearth and insert studs or braces the place you will possibly want themThe wall would be open so it's going to be ordinary to cover the wires and run an electric powered outlet, added audio gadget, and cable feed for the television besidesyou may then in simple terms take a million/2 or 5/8 wallboard and refinish it, overlaying the wires, etcthis technique could be somewhat extra hard artwork huge yet you will no longer have any dangling wires etcto handle afterwards, it's going to be a sparkling look.
SureI am assuming the wall is built using sound construction techniques(I've seen some real do it yourself sort of shoddilyy done work)I actually think the fact it is above a fireplace may be a larger issue for youI know you may think it looks good, but you really have to pay attention to what the maximum ambent temperature might be at the TV location with a fire going.
Of courseJust make sure the tin foil covers the holeA casserole, if it is not too liquidy, should not be a problem since it will firm up as it cooks.
