One of the reasons my partner plus I purchased our dwelling was the fireplace; The fireplace is a focal point! It’s a large design of fieldstones plus dominates the residing room, but we had visions of a fire on frosty winter time days.
We hoped to prefer the cozy ambience plus reduce our heating bills.
After residing in the dwelling for five years, my buddy and I built two fires. We realized that tearing wood is a time-consuming, labor-intensive plus horrible job, dragging dirty wood through the dwelling makes a mess. A fire is difficult to get started plus then creates fumes, flames plus ash. After having a fire, it’s necessary to have the chimney professionally cleaned. I started looking into converting the wood burning fireplace into a gas alternative. I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to update the hearth plus mantle. The existing hearth plus mantle were ancient, disfigurementd plus of excruciating quality. They detracted from the aesthetics of the fireplace plus the entire residing room. I wanted a mantle that would not only compliment the fieldstone however also offer display availability. I had no idea of how to go about replacing the mantle plus hearth. When I spoke with an Heating plus A/C business about converting the fireplace from wood burning to natural gas, I asked him for recommendations, but he directed me to a local household furniture builder. I got in touch with a master craftsman who was able to design plus build a hardwood mantle plus hearth. He came to the house, took measurements plus sketched up ideas. He gave samples of bizarre types of woods plus had good ideas. He also handled the upgrade.
