Thanks for the question and answer. I'm considering a answering service also.

Same question as Kevin, I wanted to know how it went! Good Luck again.

Update: after meeting with contractors and another realtor yesterday I've decided to take out the tile wall and drywall over the hole with the flue.  Thanks for the guidance everybody!

If I just take the tile down and Sheetrock the wall do I need to pull permits?  I don't have any other structural changes happening so I wasn't planning on pulling permits for my rehab.

I could really use some guidance on a design issue with my first flip.  I have a house that I am getting construction bids on tomorrow so I had my realtor friend stop by today to help me craft my scope of work.  She pointed out this design problem in the living room: there was a wood burning stove in the corner of the living room at one point which has since been removed but the flue is still there sticking out of the wall and the whole corner is tiled.  I want to paint the tile white and leave it alone but that doesn't help me with the fireplace flue that is still sticking out of the wall.  Any thoughts on what I can do to remove the flue and fill the gap where it use to be without having to tear out all the tile?  The house will likely sell for around $80k and is in a working class neighborhood if that helps with any guidance.  There are a couple of pictures to show what I'm talking about below.  Thanks!
