This is the first home that I have ever owned with a fireplace and I love it. There were some problems in the beginning, but that was not my fault. My place had been the model of the subdivision and from what the fireplace people can gather when they looked at it, is that someone from the builders scavenged my fireplace for parts and left it in a half assembled mode. Once that was corrected, I could sit back and enjoy the heat from the flickering flames. Now with the temperature dropping well below zero at night, the quiet heat is a welcomed bonus. Something about being able to see the source of warmth makes it that more meaningful to me.
