All that said, amongst the dozens of other projects that are taking all my money, I’m wanting to convert the fireplace to gas logs. Google estimations on price for that conversion was confusing.

To each his own, but that is mystifying to me.

What?

 

[Behr]

What?

Turning a perfectly good fireplace into a fake one.

I think I have an idea why Bill would want to do so.

Did you not see the fires I had going on the living room end table last night? Was a struggle. Almost caught the Fiat on fire

Did you put the potatoes on the open flame?

I give my brother a hard time about. His reason is its not as messy and it's convenient.

Rotisserie style over each flame

Done this. Do you have gas to the house now? Are you on a crawl space. If so, not so bad, a nice log set will be expensive. If no to either of the other two, costs escalate quickly.

Can still burn wood without the logset.

Breath, it will be OK.

You and OS must think I can't tie my own shoes.

If I learned one thing from the last 3 or 4 days is you need a neighbor to hold your hand.

Crawl space, but no gas to the house currently. It’s just an idea in my head at the moment, but last night certainly had me wishing I had already done it

Can you get an LP system installed? We are on LP here but it is getting pretty expensive per gallon. That would also give you the option for a gas cooktop upgrade too.

Im curious enough to ask what your idea is

I'd get bowed up but my back hurts too bad.

Get you a chainsaw.

I can. That’s where the Google estimations get weird. Some prices don’t seem so bad, some seem astronomical

I was thinking it might be the same reason I would, wood burning fireplaces are not environmentally friendly.

And you could then get a gas line run to your kitchen for a gas range. When I did that I also had them run a line to the backyard for a grill so I would not have to have tanks. And yes, I still had a charcoal grill that I used often, but gas grills are very convenient.

Need video proof you can.
