have to create is much less than the size of a window and there is less
chance of structural damage.
The stove is fairly charming, radiate as much if not more heat than a
fireplace, and certainly is good for conversations. I had one once in a
place I lived, and think about it whenever the weather turns bad.

Subject: Installing a new fireplace
Anybody on the list ever installed a new window in a load-bearing wall
where there was no window before? I just bought a new gas fireplace and
I plan on installing it in a wall with no presently existing window or
opening, on the bottom floor ofa tow-story house. I am sure I can do
all of the work myself, but I am concerned about suporting the second
story when cutting through two of the studs that support it. I've know
that I should support it, but I am wondering about the best way to do
so. Is there a floor jack or anything like that I can use in a finished
houe so I don't tear up the floor? Anybody have any advice at all about
doing this?
Thanks,
Matt Small
