Subject: RE: Installing a new fireplace
Just wanted to add that a Stove is DEFIANTLY better then a fireplace for
heating purposes. The house my family lived in while I was in high
school,
was wood heated. More economical then gas or electric. The stove in
the
basement heated the whole house. The fireplace in the living room only
heated the one room and burned twice the wood. But then it was much
prettier to look at and more fun to snuggle in front of :).

Think about a Franklin stove instead of a fireplace, the aperature you
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
